The first phase of the Green Line is set to open on September 14, 2009 and will run from Victory Station (American Airlines Center) to MLK station and include stops through Downtown, Deep Ellum, Baylor Medical Center and Fair Park. Other stations, to open in December of 2010, will include Downtown Carrollton, Love Field and Buckner (south of Fair Park). The Orange Line will open with Irving stations in 2011 and the DFW International Airport station, also on the Orange Line, is scheduled to open in 2013.
Baylor DART Station.

The Baylor Station will serve Baylor University Medical Center and is one of two Deep Ellum stops. Baylor Medical Center opened on this spot over 100 years ago and today has over 6,500 daily commuters. Baylor encourages employees to take DART. They even offer DART passes for those who are willing to give up a parking space in exchange for the DART pass. Not only is Baylor actively making people healthier with treatment options, they are contributing to everyone's health by encouraging employees to take DART. Employees who take DART are not spending hours in idling traffic pumping hazardous chemicals into the air we all breathe. They’ll also enjoy the reduced stress that comes from not starting every morning worrying if the traffic jam will make them late for work again.

DART's Traveling Man at the Deep Ellum Station.
Deep Ellum has a long history of arts and entertainment in Dallas. The Deep Ellum Station is located at the intersection of Gaston and Good Latimer where the old tunnel used to be. The tunnel was removed in 2007 to make the grade level enough for the DART trains to operate. You can read more about Deep Ellum here.

The last stop (for phase 1) on the Green Line will be Victory Station next to Victory Park and the American Airlines Center. Or it could be the first stop, depending on your point of origin. Currently DART runs special trains marked “DART” between Victory Station and the West End Station during special events. From there passengers can change to the Red or Blue Lines to reach their destination. Many people already avoid the traffic nightmare after a Mavs game or special concert event by taking DART! Soon it will be a full time station on the Green Line.
In addition to DART’s special trains, the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) also stops at this station for special events like concerts or games. Check the TRE's special operating schedule. Remember, there is NO TRE service on Sundays but DART trains operate daily.
