Trinity Metro implementing multiple fall service changes
August 1,2024
Reposted from Trinity Metro.
Trinity Metro will soon be rolling out an array of changes to its transit network to provide a simpler, easier-to-navigate customer experience. Fare reductions, increased frequency and rebranding are among the modifications that will launch on Sunday, Sept. 15.
New fare structure
Trinity Metro is upgrading its fare system to make riding public transit easier and more convenient. The new system will be simpler to understand and use, which will likely encourage more people to choose Trinity Metro for their transportation needs.
Single rides for buses, trains and On-Demand will be just $2 for regular local services, and the reduced cost will be $1. One-day tickets will be $4 and 7-day tickets will be $18, with the reduced costs of $2 and $9 respectively.
Monthly and annual passes will only be available to EASYRIDE partners.
Orange Line, other bus updates
Route 15 Stockyards/North Main will be rebranded as the Orange Line, which will offer extended weeknight service and stops at more downtown hotels. The bus will run from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. (next day) seven days a week for a consistent rider experience.
The Dash, along with routes 23 TCC Northeast Campus/TRE, 28 Mansfield Highway/Sierra Vista, 45 TCC Northwest/AngleAve/Azle Ave and 66X Candleridge/Altamesa Express, will be discontinued. On-Demand will fill the needs for those who rode routes 23, 28 and 45. Route 66X is serviced by routes 6 8th Ave/McCart, 52 Hulen and 72 Hemphill/Sycamore School Rd.
Route 5 Evans Ave/TCC South will increase weekday frequency to 15 minutes and weekend frequency to 30 minutes.
On-Demand
Current ZIPZONE services in Mercantile, Southeast, Southside and South Tarrant will be rebranded as On-Demand. Service hours and operations will remain the same, so the only change for customers will be the new name of On-Demand.
In addition, Trinity Metro will launch On-Demand North Side and On-Demand TCC Northeast while also expanding On-Demand Southside.
