So, I decided to check out the Dallas Green Line the other day. I’ve heard people talk about it, but I’d never actually ridden it myself. Figured it was time to see what all the fuss was about.
Getting Started
First thing I did was look up the Green Line route map online. Gotta know where you’re going, right? It looked pretty straightforward, running from North Carrollton/Frankford Station all the way down to Buckner Station. Lots of stops in between, so I picked a few that sounded interesting.
The Ride Itself
I drove over to the nearest station, parked my car, and bought a day pass. Pretty cheap, I gotta say. The train showed up after a few minutes, and I hopped on. It wasn’t too crowded, which was nice. I found a seat by the window and just watched the city go by.
The Green Line goes through some cool areas. I saw some neat neighborhoods, some parks, and even a few spots I’d never been to before. It’s definitely a different way to see the city than being stuck in traffic on the highway!
Exploring a Bit
- I got off at one stop and walked around a bit, grabbed a coffee at a local shop.
- Hopped back on the train and went a few more stops, checked out a park I’d heard about.
It was easy to just get on and off whenever I felt like it. No stress about parking or directions.
My Overall Impression
Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. The Green Line was clean, comfortable, and * is way more relaxing than driving, and I got to see parts of Dallas I probably wouldn’t have otherwise.
I’ll definitely be riding it again. Maybe I’ll even try some of the other DART lines * you’re looking for an easy way to get around Dallas, I’d say give the Green Line a shot.
