Furnished Apartment Dallas

Dallas is a great city - so head out and enjoy it! Temporary housing residents in Dallas have many options when it comes to transportation. They can use the city's public transportation system, drive or even fly to get around while in their Dallas temporary housing.

Public Transportation

To get around the Dallas area from your temporary housing, you can take advantage of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit, or DART, which provides bus and rail services among 13 cities. The light rail service opened in 1996 and operates two rail lines throughout Dallas. Rail lines connect from Oak Cliff to Plano and from South Dallas to Garland. More lines are also planned to be opened in the future. You can also hop on a bus to transport you from your Dallas temporary housing to locations throughout the city.

Additionally, the Trinity Railway Express connects Dallas to Fort Worth and to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport through its train service. For those looking to travel further from Dallas, you can check out Greyhound Bus Lines or on Amtrak's Texas Eagle train.
