DCTA Offers Family Fun Pass for Saturday Savings
The Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA) is now offering a special discount to families for travel on Saturdays through August 17. The new Family Fun Pass allows a family (two adults and four children*) to travel from Denton to Dallas and all the way to Fort Worth for only $10 on Saturdays by purchasing a Regional Day Pass or on DCTA only with a Local System Day Pass for only $6.
The Family Fun Pass promotion ramps up this Saturday, April 20. Families can travel within the DCTA local system (A-train and Connect buses) for only $6 by purchasing a Local System Day Pass. Take advantage of the savings this weekend and travel to DCTA’s Community Open House events in Lewisville and Denton as well as other community events scheduled this weekend; Denton Red Bud Festival, Denton Community Market and Family Fun Day at MLK Recreation Center.
Families looking to explore outside of Denton County can take the A-train, transfer to Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Green Line and connect to many new family destinations served by DART, Trinity Railway Express (TRE) and the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T) with a Regional Day Pass ($10). The Main Street Arts Festival in downtown Fort Worth is this weekend and with the promotion continuing through mid-August, families can continue to save when going to new places like the Perot Museum or Summer Adventures in Fair Park.
Passengers who already have a monthly or annual pass can also take advantage of the Saturday savings, making those passes an even better value.
Regional and Local Day Passes can be purchased at all DCTA ticket outlets or through any ticket vending machine located on A-train station platforms. For route and schedule information visit DCTA.net or call Customer Service for additional information.
*When traveling on the Regional system, using DART, TRE and The T, “children” must be under the age of 14. Passengers traveling the DCTA system only, “children” ages 14-18 qualify with valid high school or DCTA issued ID.
