Current Revolt rode the DART train and busses throughout the day yesterday to find out if it’s as busy as the pro-DART people say.
Several north Texas cities are considering pulling out of DART as many feel they’re not getting their money’s worth.
DART says it moves more than 220,000 riders every day across more than a dozen cities, but at least four member cities—Plano, Farmers Branch, Irving and Highland Park—say they aren’t getting their money’s worth.
Each of those city councils is scheduled to discuss cutting ties with DART this week. If any councils vote to move forward, the issue would go to voters in May.
