    With border back open, Dallas-based Greyhound renews bus travel to Canada

    Dallas-based Greyhound has put Canada back on its can-do list.

     

    According to a release, the largest provider of intercity bus transportation in North America is renewing service to Canada, following the reopening of the United States-Canada border. Customers can now book tickets for trips taking place on November 8 and beyond. The current travel destinations in Canada available are Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.

     

    The border had been closed since March 2020 due to COVID-19. On October 13, the U.S. said it will lift restrictions at its land borders with Canada and Mexico, for fully vaccinated foreign nationals, starting in early November.

     

    The bus service is back in time for the holidays, said Greyhound Lines chief commercial officer Rob Friedman in a statement.

     

    "Greyhound is just as excited as our customers to resume cross-border travel to Canada," Friedman said. "Our goal is to provide our passengers with affordable fares and stress-free transportation as they return to normal travel, especially around the holidays."

     
       
    • Canadian passengers looking to book travel with Greyhound can do so with a new, dedicated site that provides schedules and other information.
    •  
    • U.S. travelers can book online or through the Greyhound app.
    •  
     

    For U.S. residents headed to Canada, the country is currently requiring all visitors to be fully vaccinated and have a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours before arrival at the border.

     

    Travelers must register with ArriveCAN online or through the app to provide mandatory travel information. U.S. travelers are recommended to visit Canada's travel site.

     

    To ensure hassle-free boarding at Greyhound's dedicated terminals, travelers can show-and-go by using the e-Ticketing option.

     

    Buses currently offer modern amenities such as onboard entertainment options, free onboard Wi-Fi, power outlets, reclining leather seats, and extra legroom.

    DART to install quiet zones along path of Silver Line north of Dallas

    Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is preparing to roll out its Silver Line Regional Rail, a commuter line that will extend from Plano to DFW Airport, by the end of 2025. As part of that rollout, the agency is creating a quiet zone along most of the 26-mile course — meaning that when the train makes its way across intersections, it will not honk its horn.

    DART partnered with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and six of the seven cities that the Silver Line will cross to establish a quiet zone ordinance along most of the 26-mile rail alignment.

    Quiet zones are established to limit noise, with trains sounding their horns only if there is something that will affect the vehicle’s passage on or near the tracks.

    During testing, which they've been conducting since mid-2024, the trains were required to sound their horns as they approached all rail crossings, to get motorists and pedestrians accustomed to the presence of the train.

    These horns will begin to fall silent before the end of July, as quiet zones are expected to become active as follows:

    • July 30: Coppell
    • August 1: Addison and Dallas
    • August 22: Carrollton, Richardson, and Plano.

    All dates are tentative, pending FRA approval.

    “Safety has been one of our biggest priorities as we’ve pushed through on this project, so we want to thank everyone for their patience as we’ve worked through all the requirements needed with FRA officials to get these quiet zones active,” says DART VP of capital programs Trey Walker in a statement.

    Safety issues
    Once quiet zones are activated, residents, motorists, and pedestrians will no longer consistently hear the train horn as the vehicles approach a rail crossing or station. Train horns will only be used when necessary for safety, such as an object on or near the track obstructing the train’s path forward.

    DART worked with city and FRA officials to verify that all areas along the rail alignment meet the necessary additional safety measures to establish quiet zones. The FRA requires these measures to ensure the public is aware of oncoming trains that will not consistently sound their horns. That includes fencing, quad gates at rail crossings, and unmountable curbs, which keep vehicles from driving around gates at crossings. Once activated, passenger and freight trains must adhere to all quiet zones.

    Silver Line is not light rail 
    The Silver Line vehicles are powered by electric diesel multiple-unit-powered (DMU) engines manufactured by Stadler in Salt Lake City, which meet strict Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. With seating for more than 220 passengers and amenities like multidirectional seats, overhead storage, and internal closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, the trains more closely resemble Trinity Metro’s TexRail vehicles than DART’s existing light rail fleet operating on the Red, Blue, Orange, and Green Lines.

    The DART Silver Line is a 26-mile commuter rail that traverses seven North Texas cities (Grapevine, Coppell, Dallas, Carrollton, Addison, Richardson, Plano) between DFW Airport and Shiloh Road in Plano. The new regional rail line features 53 miles of a double-track alignment that crosses three counties (Collin, Dallas, and Tarrant) and will improve mobility and accessibility across the northern portion of the DART service area.
