There'll soon be a new place to catch a Greyhound bus: Flix North America, parent company of FlixBus and Greyhound, will debut its new Dallas terminal on Tuesday December 9, with both Flix and Greyhound buses operating schedules out of an intercity bus terminal at 9755 Harry Hines Blvd.

This phases out existing service at the legacy downtown Dallas terminal on Lamar Street.

According to a release, the move will mark a major service improvement at one of the most important hubs in the national intercity bus network and strengthens connections between long-distance bus service, public transit, and air travel across North Texas.

The terminal is a new 5,600-square-city facility across from the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Bachman Station on Harry Hines Boulevard, meaning it will provide convenient connections to DFW Airport, Dallas Love Field, downtown Dallas, Fair Park, Deep Ellum, and more.

The Bachman Station is a stop on both the DART Green and Orange Lines, meaning that the new facility will also provide convenient connections for FlixBus and Greyhound riders to suburbs such as Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Las Colinas, Richardson, and Plano.

The space has been designed with comfort and convenience in mind, featuring Wi-Fi, restrooms, food and beverage vending machines, and 24/7 security staffing.

The new station was made possible through a collaboration with the City of Dallas, and underscores Flix’s long-term commitment to integrating intercity bus service into a broader national transportation network, connecting travelers with public transit and other modes to make long-distance travel more accessible, seamless, and affordable.

The relocation of Greyhound’s legacy terminal to the new facility is the latest milestone in the brand’s transformation under Flix ownership. Since acquiring Greyhound in October 2021, Flix has introduced a modernized fleet, a data-driven technology platform, and a regionally empowered operating model, driving significant improvements in reliability, efficiency, and customer experience.

“This new Dallas terminal is designed to give travelers a smoother and more convenient experience,” says Flix North America CEO Kai Boysan. “An increasing number of people are recognizing intercity buses as a compelling choice for long-distance travel, and this terminal supports that shift. Our goal is to ensure that every passenger, whether commuting, traveling for business, or exploring new places, can enjoy a stress-free journey across North Texas and beyond.”

“By locating Greyhound and FlixBus service close to DART rail and bus lines, we are making it easier to connect to airports, downtown, and communities across the metroplex, while also offering an affordable travel option to cities nationwide,” Boysan says. “This move reflects our long-term commitment to building a more accessible, and integrated transportation network across the country.”

Texas to open massive new state park in the Hill Country

Silver Lake Ranch adds 54,000 acres to Texas' public lands.

Texans will soon have a massive new state park to explore, second only to Big Bend Ranch State Park in size. Silver Lake Ranch, the 54,000-acre plot of land spanning Edwards and Kinney counties, was owned by the Moody Foundation, and now, largely thanks to a major philanthropic gift, it's headed into public hands.

The Moody Foundation gifted its 87.5 percent ownership interest in the ranch to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), with TPWD purchasing the remaining interest for $11.85 million. The funds come from the Centennial Parks Conservation Fund and Sporting Goods Sales Tax — both approved by Texas voters.

“The Moody Foundation is proud to help preserve this remarkable stretch of Texas Hill Country and make it accessible for generations to come,” said Ross Moody in a press release. “Silver Lake Ranch represents the natural beauty, history, and spirit of our state, and we are honored to make this gift to Texas Parks and Wildlife to ensure it remains protected and enjoyed by all Texans for years ahead.”

The property will officially become Silver Lake State Park, named for the spring-fed 30-acre lake at its heart. Nestled between Rocksprings and Uvalde, the land is home to some beautiful Hill Country wildlife and nature, about two hours from San Antonio.

Currently the park is in its most rugged and undeveloped form: steep limestone canyons drop into rolling hills lined with live oaks and juniper trees, with miles of river frontage tracing the West Nueces River. Several creeks wind through the property, including Sycamore Creek, Lost Creek, and North Spring Creek, along with Blue Waterhole and Dutch Waterhole.

Caves and other landmarks dot the landscape, and wildlife includes white-tailed deer, turkey, javelina, and dove. Portions of the property have even been identified as a potential habitat for the endangered golden-cheeked warbler.

According to the press release, this land, previously used for sheep and cattle ranching, will be developed in phases over the next several years, also using the Centennial Parks Conservation Fund. Initially, access to the park might look like guided tours and limited day-use opportunities while planning and infrastructure are underway. Later, trails and basic visitor facilities will be added, and ultimately, the park will include expanded recreational amenities like camping and paddling access.

Now that the acquisition is complete, TPWD staff and private contractors plan to gather feedback from the public and surrounding communities to help map out recreational opportunities. This may take "many months to complete," says the press release. TPWD will communicate any upcoming milestones, including a potential opening date, at TexasStateParks.org

"This is an exciting addition to our state park system, and we are grateful to our partners at the Moody Foundation for their philanthropy and for bringing this slice of the hill country to the people of Texas," TPWD Executive Director David Yoskowitz says in the press release.

And as folks are pointing out on TPDW's reel announcing the new park: it's "Better than any subdivision."
