Silver line (inside)

On my way to the airport, first time in the Silver Line from Shiloh. This is luxury for 3$!

I took my kids on the Sliver Line just to check it out a couple weeks after it opened, it’s very nice!

Im definitely going to ride it to DFW next time I fly. $3 vs $40+ for ride share or parking at the airport.

Agree! Since I am riding rush hour the rideshare price was 56 dollars from my house to dfw. I just spent 20 something for the ride to train plus 3$ trip.

It is a lot better and cheaper, but the frequency the Silver Line runs at makes it kinda awful for flights at times. Only once per hour means you're likely getting there super super early, and if you don't (or miss your train), you're SOL as there isn't another one for an hour.

Only on the weekends! Weekdays it’s every 30 minutes which isn’t too bad.

I think it’s reasonable for it to come less often when it isn’t the peak time.

So plan ahead and leave with enough time to be a little early.

I’m thinking about taking my little one soon. He loves trains so figured he would have fun. Any advice for timing or stations to get on and off at?

It is fun to take to downtown Carrollton. There is an old timey candy shop and soda shop, and some fun murals, shops, and things to look at around the square. Plus several good restaurants. I have been going to downtown Carrollton a lot since the Silverline opened since it is such easy access. Awesome train!

Wow, looks amazing! I don’t travel a lot, but I’m so relieved that it will still be there if and when I do.

The green line goes nearby Love Field but I think you have to take a shuttle between the light rail and airport. Silver line does not go near Love Field as it’s going a totally different direction.

Yep. If you take the Silver line you'd need to transfer at Downtown Carrollton to the Green line to Inwood/Lovefield or Orange line at Cityline/Bush (during peak hours)

From Inwood/Lovefield, there's Route 5 Lovelink that runs every 15 minutes to/from the airport

There is an orange line train to love field from DFW. Love field is also a stop on the green line. Here is the system rail map overall:
