Fort worth bus line

The city and Trinity Metro are developing a plan for how the future bus line on the corridor would work and what the development it spurs to should look like. Three virtual meetings are planned through June, with additional chances for input later this year before the plan, dubbed Advancing East Lancaster, is released in December.

Bus rapid transit is like light rail, but without the rail. Buses travel in dedicated lanes, physically separated from traffic, and stop at well-lit stations, not regular bus stops.

Traffic lights are timed to give the bus lane priority, ensuring that buses stay on time. The East Lancaster corridor is prime for bus rapid transit, said Jeff Davis, Trinity Metro's board president, arguing the area has "a demonstrated need" for better bus service.

In January , before the pandemic, more than 73, people rode that bus, up from just under 69, a year before. Ridership dropped to about 59, in March when the pandemic started and has hovered around 43, since.

Davis said improving the line with rapid buses, which come every 15 minutes and as quick as every 5 minutes for special events, would increase ridership dramatically. Extending the line into Arlington could mean more than 1. Conversations about additional funding for Trinity Metro have been ongoing at City Hall. Some council members, like outgoing District 9 representative Ann Zadeh, argue the city should devote more to transit as an economic driver.

Others, including District 4 council member Cary Moon, say Trinity Metro needs to improve service before getting more money to improve service. Haase said residents in his neighborhood are hopeful the city and Trinity Metro can make the plan a reality — it's been discussed for more than a decade. The city has attempted to spur growth in areas of East Lancaster before.

Three urban villages, areas designed for dense populations, a mix of businesses and bike and transit friendly streets, have been designated in the Near East Side, at Oakland and Lancaster and in Handley. Years after being established, little growth has come to the pockets, Haase said. But in the city approved a public improvement district for part of the street. Learn More. Fort Worth To Houston.
