Cost of Gas Got You Down? Try Public Transportation
 If you’re cringing every time you fill up your tank these days (and who isn’t), why not give public transportation a try? Taking the bus or train to school:
- • saves money
- • lets you read or relax instead of fighting traffic
- • helps protect the environment
The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Web site offers all kinds of helpful information, including an interactive DART trip planner, bus and rail schedules and maps, information about fares and more.
If you prefer, you can call DART’s Customer Information line at 214-979-1111. Just tell them where you need to go and when, and they’ll help you develop a customized trip plan.
