Orange Line (Dallas Area Rapid Transit)

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:

    “Give not this rotten orange to your friend;
    She’s but the sign and semblance of her honor.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Michelangelo said to Pope Julius II, “Self negation is noble, self-culture is beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared to self-abuse.” Mr. Brown, here, in one of his latest and most graceful poems refers to it in an eloquent line which is destined to live to the end of time—”None know it but to love it, None name it but to praise.””
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Now for civil service reform. Legislation must be prepared and executive rules and maxims. We must limit and narrow the area of patronage. We must diminish the evils of office-seeking. We must stop interference of federal officers with elections. We must be relieved of congressional dictation as to appointments.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “But parents can be understanding and accept the more difficult stages as necessary times of growth for the child. Parents can appreciate the fact that these phases are not easy for the child to live through either; rapid growth times are hard on a child. Perhaps it’s a small comfort to know that the harder-to-live-with stages do alternate with the calmer times,so parents can count on getting periodic breaks.”
    —Saf Lerman (20th century)
