Dallas Area Rapid Transit

FLEX is a service offering the advantages of a fixed route plus the convenience of curbside service.

This service charges a local fare for boardings at bus stops and a premium fare for trips that FLEX away from the fixed path. FLEX requests are limited to a specific zone and accepted according to the operator's ability to accommodate the trip within the schedule.

Passengers requesting FLEX service may do so by calling the applicable number below at least one hour prior to the desired trip.
