| | Dallas: Light Rail Rolls Into Garland, as Plano Gets Ready |
 | | The Plano extension has cost the agency less than $20 million per mile and for first-class, highspeed rapid transit, with attractive, secure stations, not a bus operation camouflaged to be a "light rail look-alike". |
 | | DART projects that, by the end of 2003, an average of about 1,400 passengers will board trains at the Forest/Jupiter Station each weekday and that nearly 2,000 will do the same at downtown Garland. |
 | | The Forest/Jupiter Station, located on Forest Lane near Jupiter Road, has 561 parking spaces and serves a vigorous industrial district where crops of onions and cantaloupe once were cultivated. |
