Passengers disembark from a TRE train at Victory Station in 2011. TxDOT is exploring building a high-speed train route between Dallas and Fort Worth.Re: “DART needs to be more efficient — Rowlett mayor says resolution to cut sales tax share will get agency’s attention,” by Blake Margolis, Monday Opinion.This op-ed by the mayor of Rowlett totally missed the point on the problems with Dallas Area Rapid Transit. First off, every ride on the DART system should be free.
The missed tax revenue could easily be recovered if DART would enforce its fare management and stop the free rides. I recently rode the Red Line round trip to the Tyler station in Oak Cliff.The DART fare tap-on reader at the station was broken, causing missed fares and lost revenue. DART says its financial records are public, but I seriously doubt it has any clue the money it is losing to fare scofflaws.
I have traveled in Tokyo, Paris and London, in all of which it is arguably faster to take public transportation than it is to drive . Add to that the reduction in hazardous auto emissions.
