DART approves bus network redesign to bring new services to Plano, Richardson

Under the new plan, Plano and Richardson residents will see the expansion of DART’s GoLink service, which offers on-demand shuttles.

The agency is adding two GoLink zones in central Plano and east Plano to give the city a total of five. The central Plano zone will cover portions of three current bus routes. The other zone will cover portions of two existing bus routes in the eastern portion of the city and extend into Richardson.

In Richardson, DART is also adding two GoLink zones with one set to cover portions of three existing bus routes in the Telecom area in the northeastern portion of the city and extend into Plano. The other zone will focus on central Richardson, covering portions of three current bus routes.

In all, DART plans to add 13 new GoLink zones throughout its service area to bring its total to 30. To allow riders the opportunity to experience GoLink before the bus network redesign changes go into effect, all 30 zones will begin operation Dec. 6.
