DART into the New Year

DART Cotton Bowl Flyer takes to the field January 1

Tennessee takes on Kansas State in the 2001 Cotton Bowl and DART is the way to get there on New Year's Day.

DART's Cotton Bowl Flyer will carry passengers from five park & ride locations throughout the DART Service Area on New Year's Day.

Parking is free, and bus fares are $6 for adults and $5 for children between the ages of five and 11, senior citizens and customers with disabilities. Sales are cash only at the park & ride locations the day of the game and customers must have exact change.

Buses begin leaving the park & ride locations two hours before the game, with the last departures one hour prior to game time. The game begins at 10:00 a.m. The buses begin leaving for the game at 8:00 a.m. The last return bus from the Cotton Bowl departs 30 minutes after the end of the game.

North Central Transit Center (Coit Road, south of LBJ)
North Carrollton Transit Center (Trinity Mills Road at Dickerson)
West Plano Transit Center (West 15th St. at Coit)
Red Bird Transit Center (US 67 at Hampton Road)
