RICHARDSON – The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is temporarily closing the indoor waiting areas at all transit center locations starting at 5 p.m. Friday, March 27 to help in reducing the spread of COVID-19.  The closure includes the Arapaho Center Station in Richardson.

Although the transit center waiting areas will be closed, DART riders can continue to use the outdoor areas for boarding buses and light rail vehicles.

On DART buses with rear doors, customers will be required to board the vehicle through the rear access. 

All Station Concierge personnel have been reassigned to monitor and amplify customer service initiatives and augment DART’s enhanced cleaning protocols on all bus and light rail vehicles.

DART passengers are urged to practice social distancing while waiting to board DART vehicles and while on all buses and trains. That means a six-foot distance between fellow riders and your DART operator.
