History
OpenedNovember 13, 1989[1]

Red Bird Transit Center (originally Red Bird Park & Ride) is a small bus-only station in southern Dallas, Texas. Located at the intersection of US-67 and S. Hampton Road, it is owned and operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART).

The station was originally opened in 1985[1] by DART's predecessor, DTS, as a park and ride lot. Following overcrowding and claims that riders were using nearby private lots, DART allocated $3 million to expand the lot[2] and build an indoor waiting area. The expanded station was opened on November 13, 1989.[1]

Service

The station is served by two bus lines, both of which provide service to SWMD/Parkland station in North Dallas. The Hampton Road bus (Route 101) travels along the titular road, stopping at Hampton station.[3] The Red Bird Express (Route 378) travels through Downtown Dallas (stopping at Akard) during weekday peak hours.[4]

While the station is located near Dallas Executive Airport, no DART routes service the airport.
