DALLAS, May, 29 2026 – Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will implement service changes Monday, June 8, 2026, that include minor bus route schedule adjustments, Highland Park withdrawal changes, and temporary service enhancements during the FIFA World Cup 2026™.  

“Our priority during the FIFA World Cup events here in North Texas is to ensure seamless service for residents and visitors alike. We have secured funding to temporarily increase rail service across the region with more frequency and more capacity,” said Trenise Winters, DART’s EVP and Chief Operations Officer. “These enhanced services are being formalized to allow riders to easily plan trips via GoPass® and for our daily riders to plan ahead for more frequent trains.”
