Start Your Parade Route with DART

North Texas celebrates St. Patrick's with an annual parade down Greenville Avenue. More than 100,000 people attend the parade each year, and they arrive early to claim the best viewing spots. Let DART help you get there safely. Come early, take advantage of the extra service that day and, of course, wear green! It all adds up to a smooth ride.

 

It's the safe and convenient way to all the festivities.

  1. Celebrate early and often: DART has added service on March 11 to meet demand on the day when everyone is Irish.
  2. Go contactless: Skip the shenanigans by buying your pass with the GoPass® app, GoPass® Tap or any contactless card or device. See below for complete details.
  3. Turn it green: Be sure to activate your ticket in the GoPass app or tap your contactless credit card or device to a reader prior to boarding. Day Passes are only valid on the day of activation.
  4. Take in all the day's fun: DART makes it easy for parade and festival-goers, as well as runners participating in the St. Paddy's Day Dash Down Greenville 5K .
  5. Get the deets: Click here for complete parade details including the parade route.
  6. Plan ahead for good luck: DART encourages you to allow extra time that day due to service demand.

Payment Information

DART offers four great contactless options that make buying your pass fast, safe, and convenient.

  1. Credit or debit card: Just tap your contactless credit or debit card to a reader on a DART Rail platform or bus prior to boarding -- and you're on your way to all the fun!
  2. Mobile device: Using Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay, tap your payment-enabled mobile device to a reader on a DART Rail platform or bus to buy your pass.
  3. GoPass® app: Download the latest version of the app for free from the App Store or Google Play. In addition to buying passes, you can also use GoPass to plan trips and get next bus or train times. Just be sure to activate your DART pass before you board.
  4. GoPass® Tap card: Available at 7-Eleven and hundreds of participating retailers, GoPass Tap is the reloadable transit card that automatically gives you the best fare every time you ride. Simply tap your card to a reader on a DART Rail platform or bus prior to boarding, and your fare is deducted automatically.
You're in Luck. Contactless payment makes riding DART even easier--just tap, pay, and go!

Wishing you good luck and good health

DART buses receive nightly cleanings and light rail vehicles are cleaned at the eight terminus stations throughout the day with a focus on high-touch areas including handrails, door buttons, grab rails and hanging straps. Masks are not required, but if you wish to wear one, DART provides complimentary masks on board.

Skip the headaches and save a pot of gold by riding DART to the St. Paddy's parade. It’s the safe alternative to driving. #DART2STPADDYS
