After transitioning from a tryptophan coma to the predictable heart attack that is every Dallas Cowboys game, perhaps getting behind the wheel isn't the best idea. If you'd rather let someone else do the driving, Dallas has a number of public transportation options to take you to and from your Thanksgiving feast.

DART buses and light rail will operate on a Sunday schedule on Thanksgiving and a Saturday schedule on Friday, November 23.
The Trinity Railway Express will not run on Thanksgiving but will operate with a modified schedule on Friday, so hit up the relatives for some post-turkey couch space.
Shortly after we all officially return from the holiday, DART and the TRE will undergo a schedule and fare adjustment. Beginning Monday, December 3, the Downtown Rowlett station will be open for business on the blue line and Belt Line and Northlake College stations will open on the orange line.
A system day pass, which grants access to rail, bus and a portion of TRE travel, will decrease from $7 to $5; monthly system passes will decrease from $100 to $80; and regional monthly passes, which offer service all the way to T&P station in Fort Worth, will increase from $120 to $160.
