| | Dallas: Light Rail Rolls Into Garland, as Plano Gets Ready |
 | | On 18 November 2002, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) opened its Blue Line branch into downtown Garland, a suburb to the northeast of downtown Dallas. |
 | | Meanwhile, the Red Line branch into Plano, another suburban city north of central Dallas, is preparing for a December 9th startup. |
 | | 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". |
