The Dallas Streetcar is a 2.45-mile (3.94 km) modern streetcar line in Dallas, Texas.[1] It is owned by the city of Dallas and operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, which also operates Dallas's DART Light Rail system. Construction on the line began in May 2013,[2][3] and it opened for public service on April 13, 2015.[4][5][6]

The streetcar line operates between downtown Dallas and Oak Cliff by way of the Houston Street Viaduct.[7] The streetcar line originally operated from Union Station to Methodist Dallas Medical Center, but an extension to the Bishop Arts District[1][7][8] opened on August 29, 2016.[9][10]
