DCTA Celebrates 12th Birthday of the A-train
June 15, 2023
On Tuesday, June 20, DCTA will celebrate the 12th birthday of the A-train!
DCTA will be handing out cookies to passengers on selected train departures during the morning commute hours of 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM, marking 12 years of outstanding service!
You can also join in the fun by planning your own A-train excursion, for instance a train ride to Downtown Denton and lunch at one of the numerous courthouse square eateries. Move as the spirit (or the train) moves you!
A-train ridership is currently showing great signs of growth, with the rider count as of April 2023 at 36% above the same period in 2022.
The A-train connects Denton County with Dallas County via the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Green Line at the Trinity Mills Station in Carrollton.
Some additional quick facts about the A-train:
Our 21-mile A-train commuter rail line began service on June 20, 2011, and the current fleet of Stadler GTW 2/6 articulated rail vehicles began service in June of 2012.
The A-train runs every half hour on weekdays and every hour on weekends, with stops at each of our five stations before connecting to the DART Trinity Mills station.
- Downtown Denton Transit Center (DDTC)
- MedPark station
- Highland Village/Lewisville Lake station
- Old Town station
- Hebron station
Passengers can ride the A-train free in the designated “free fare” zones between the DDTC and MedPark station, as well as between the Hebron station and the DART Trinity Mills station.
