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:

    “He hangs in shades the orange bright,
    Like golden lamps in a green night,
    And does in the pomegranates close
    Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
    He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
    And throws the melons at our feet;
    But apples plants of such a price
    No tree could ever bear them twice.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation will then be tried in fields of battle and determined by the sword.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
    Sprouting despondently at area gates.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “The art of watching has become mere skill at rapid apperception and understanding of continuously changing visual images. The younger generation has acquired this cinematic perception to an amazing degree.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
