The expansion comes after Castle Hills was annexed into Lewisville, which receives the GoZone service.
GoZone, which is powered by Via, offers on-demand ride share service. The service is the public transportation offering in Lewisville after the Connect bus stopped running in December.
A fleet of dedicated vans is used to transport passengers at assigned virtual bus stops, according to the DCTA. Payments for GoZone can be made with a DCTA pass or purchased as a single trip for $0.75 each.
“We're happy to welcome the Castle Hills community onto DCTA's GoZone service,” said Javier Trilla, assistant vice president of innovation and information technology, in a DCTA news release. “The expansion into Castle Hills was a natural extension of our Lewisville services and further ties together the community by offering a transit option that gets you anywhere within Lewisville on a single per-trip fare.”
Passengers can request a ride through the DCTA GoZone mobile app, or they can call DCTA customer service at 940-243-0077.
GoZone operates from 5 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 a.m.-11 p.m. Fridays, 8 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturdays, and 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Sundays and holidays, according to DCTA.
