Four routes will serve the new transit center, providing convenient connections to DART Rail and downtown Dallas. Those routes include: 12, 26, 50 and 409. The portion of Bus Route 445 currently serving the area will become part of Bus Route 409. In addition, three new early morning non-stop trips connect customers at the J. B. Jackson, Jr. Transit Center with the South Garland (Bus Route 264), North Irving (Bus Route 202) and Addison (Bus Route 205) transit centers, saving customers an average of 15-20 minutes. All three trips leave early enough to make 6 a.m. connections at the three transit centers. The price is premium fare, $2.25 each way, or a $4.50 Day Pass. New choices for customers DART is modifying midday bus schedules to improve connections between bus routes at the CBD East Transfer Center at Pearl and Pacific in downtown Dallas. Seven bus routes serving the downtown area will stop at the East Transfer Center for approximately three minutes to permit transfers between buses. Those routes include: 19 (northbound only); 39; 42 (westbound only); 44 (northbound only); and 49; 63 and 164 (inbound only). More than 50 routes and schedules are being adjusted to reach employment, shopping and entertainment destinations, and trips are being added to existing schedules to meet increased ridership demands.
