TRE to run later trains and Sunday service for MAIN ST. Arts Festival

April 2,2015

(FORT WORTH (April 2, 2015) – The Trinity Railway Express (TRE) will operate special late night Friday and Saturday trains and Sunday service during the 2015 MAIN ST. Fort Worth Arts Festival, April 9 -12. On Saturday of the festival, The T also will operate park and ride bus shuttles from both Farrington Field and Billy Bob’s in the Stockyards to and from downtown.

The T’s additional bus and train service is designed to help alleviate traffic congestion downtown where Main Street and intersections at 2nd through 9th Streets will be closed to vehicle traffic.

TRE service includes special eastbound trains that will depart from The T’s downtown Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC) after the end of the festival on Friday through Sunday nights. The Trinity Railway Express ITC Station is a short walk to Main St. Riding TRE requires a regular fare, valid rail pass, or reduced pass with valid photo I.D. Free if under age 5 with parent or guardian. Go to www.trinityrailwayexpress.org for fares and schedules.

On Friday and Saturday, the specially added late TRE eastbound train departs at 11:35 p.m. from the ITC Station. The last TRE Sunday train departs at 8:35 p.m. also after the festival ends.

These special trains from downtown Fort Worth to Dallas will stop at all stations across the corridor as needed. TRE riders returning to Dallas from the festival should check DART schedules at www.dart.org for appropriate DART rail/bus connections to their final destination. The TRE eastbound 11:35 p.m. train does not connect with any DART rail service at Union Station. On Sunday, no bus shuttles run between CenterPort Station and DFW Airport.

The T’s Saturday bus shuttles will operate from two park and ride locations every 20 minutes from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. One shuttle will operate between Farrington Field and the intersection of 9th St. at Houston (Hyde Park), and the other shuttle will run between Billy Bob’s Texas and the intersection of 2nd St. at Houston. Parking at Billy Bob’s and Farrington Field is free. The shuttle cost is a regular round trip bus fare of $3.50. ($1.75 for Child/Student, Senior, Disabled, if qualified). Children under age 5 ride free with parent or guardian. Shuttle fares are cash only. Or to load The T’s GoPass App go to www.gopass.biz.
