Four years into its existence, TEXRail ridership has increased but has yet to meet the projected numbers from its initial proposal.
Trinity Metro, the transit authority in Fort Worth, is seeking public input about its planned extension of the TEXRail commuter line 2.1 miles into the Medical District at an estimated cost of at least $179 million.
Trinity Metro, which operates TEXRail, is asking the City of Fort Worth for $86 million, most of which will be used to build a two-mile extension into the Medical District.
Though both Dallas and Tarrant counties have ordered citizens to shelter-in-place, public transportation is still operational.
The new surveys for DART, DCTA, and Trinity Metro riders will be initiated in phases, but will not include feedback from people who choose not to use mass transit.
