Orange Line (Dallas Area Rapid Transit)

The Orange Line (labeled as the Purple Line on maps prior to 2006) is a 14-mile (23 km) mass transit light rail line operated by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system in Dallas, Irving, Richardson and Plano, Texas. The Orange Line started operation on December 6, 2010, with weekday peak service from the Parker Road Station to Bachman Station on stations shared with the Red and Green lines. The three first Orange-only stations opened with the extension to Irving Convention Center Station on July 30, 2012, and two more were added on Dec. 3, 2012. The current northwestern terminus is Belt Line Station, with service to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport planned for December 2014.

Other future Orange Line stations include a DFW North Station loop and an eastern extension down Scyene Road to Masters Drive (previously planned as a Green Line expansion).

Famous quotes containing the words orange, line, area and/or rapid:

    “A hook shot kisses the rim and
    hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop

    and for once our gangly starting center
    boxes out his man and times his jump

    perfectly, gathering the orange leather
    from the air like a cherished possession”
    —Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)

    “We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)

    “Many women are reluctant to allow men to enter their domain. They don’t want men to acquire skills in what has traditionally been their area of competence and one of their main sources of self-esteem. So while they complain about the male’s unwillingness to share in domestic duties, they continually push the male out when he moves too confidently into what has previously been their exclusive world.”
    —Bettina Arndt (20th century)

    “It now appears that the negro race is, more than any other, susceptible of rapid civilization. The emancipation is observed, in the islands, to have wrought for the negro a benefit as sudden as when a thermometer is brought out of the shade into the sun. It has given him eyes and ears.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
