Flex Service
DART introduced a new service into its system called a "Flex" service in 2008. It is much similar to DART On-Call, except it combines the advantages of a fixed bus route along with curbside pick-up. It uses a local fare on stops at fixed routes and/or a premium fare on curbside pick-ups and drop-offs within the Flex zone if time permits. Customers in those areas who desire a pick-up at a specific location may do so by calling DART 1 h before their destination time or at stop.
The Flex service currently serves the following areas:
- East Plano (replaced routes 570, 760, and DART On-Call East Plano.)
- Garland/Rowlett (replaced route 557.)
- Pleasant Grove (replaced route 342.)
- South Irving (Clockwise/Counter-clockwise. Replaced portions of routes 302 & 306)
- South Plano (to replace busiest portions of Telecomm Corridor Flex Service during peak hours.)
- Telecomm Corridor (Bi-directional, weekday rush hours only) (replaced portions of route 316)

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“We too are ashes as we watch and hear
The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
The service record of his youth wiped out,
His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
