Does the DART rail not stop at Fair Park Station on weekdays? My cousin and friends who are staying with me in Plano are going to a concert at Dos Equis Pavilion @ Fair Park. I was going to recommend them to take the DART rail but I have not done it in ages.

Only the green line runs to Fair Park. They'll need to take the red line to Pearl/Arts District and transfer to the green line.

That would be a fairly long commute. Plus the station is on the opposite side of fair park from the amphitheatre. But it's cheap (or free) and beats driving under the influence.

And you can usually walk through the Park to get to the cotton bowl, Dos Equis, etc. It's interesting to see it when the State Fair isn't going on.

It's not, surprisingly. Like Walton said, it's across the street from a legit commercial area.

From my DART rail experience (worked downtown for about 3 years and took the blue line from Rowlett every day), you'll be fine if there is an event going on around there. It will be the late night ride back out of the city that will be sketchy.

I always tell folks - DART during business hours is great. Before/after business hours - shady.

Shady and slow. The rail is great to avoid rush hour traffic (or at least being able to do other things vs. sitting behind the wheel of a car in it), but off hours, it means turning a 30-35 minute trip home to Plano into over an hour on the train (not counting the walk to it), then you still probably have another 10-15 minutes to drive from the station to home. Longer if you get stabbed and have to stop at Presby Dallas along the way.

Yup and there is usually a late night car meet at the car wash a block down the road, don't forget your plate carrier!
