New DART GoLink zones begin service

Dec. 6, 2021
This January, 13 new GoLink zones will be added, replacing traditional fixed-route service and bringing the total GoLink zones to 30.

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) began operating all GoLink zones Dec. 6, while maintaining existing fixed-route bus service to prepare riders for the launch of DARTzoom, new bus network. 

An essential part of DART's new bus network is the expansion of GoLink, DART's on-demand, curb-to-curb microtransit service solution that operates in zones across the DART service area. GoLink offers service with connections to DART transit facilities, as well as anywhere within each specified zone. 

With the start of the new bus service on Jan. 24, 2022, 13 new GoLink zones will be added, replacing traditional fixed-route service and bringing the total to 30. In addition, weekend hours have been added to many GoLink zones, with 13 zones offering Saturday service and six zones offering Sunday service. 

GoLink is available to customers at no additional cost with a valid DART fare. The UberPool shared ride program is also an option as part of the GoLink service. With UberPool, travel to or from any DART station or transit center within a zone is $1, and travel to or from any destination within a zone is $3.  

The $1 fee has been waived during the introductory period. Prices are per trip, per person. GoLink riders can book and pay for trips with either the DART GoPass app or by calling. UberPool riders will need to download the Uber app as well to book their trip. Both apps are free from the Apple Store and Google Play.
