A clean and efficient way to get around this city that's otherwise largely oriented toward automobiles, Dallas Rapid Area Transit (D.A.R.T.) (214-979-1111) is the city's "light rail" system. There are two lines (red and blue), which from downtown Dallas to the Trinity Railway Express commuter rail (which connects the city to Fort Worth). The Red Line connects downtown to such popular areas as the West End, Cityplace, and Mockingbird. You can use the Blue Line to reach White Rock Lake.
