On December 6, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) opened the Green Line which makes DART the largest light-rail system in the United States, an accomplishment that comes just a generation after the agency's creation. The Green Line links downtown Dallas with stops stretching from Carrollton to Pleasant Grove.
"The Green Line changes everything for our customers," DART President/Executive Director Gary Thomas said. "Customers living in Pleasant Grove now have seamless access to jobs at Baylor, Downtown Dallas, the Market District, UT Southwestern/Parkland, Love Field and Farmers Branch and Carrollton. Business owners all along the corridor can connect with new customers and new pools of prospective employees."
Next up for the nation's largest rail light-rail system is the Orange Line which will connect downtown Dallas to the Las Colinas Urban Center by mid-year 2012 and reaches D/FW International Airport by 2014. es D/FW International Airport by 2014.
