DART West End Station

Good location, but so much drama. Ignore it if possible, and keep DART police phone number handy: 214.928.6300. I often use Akard Station even though West End is closer to my office.
Also beware of standing under the trees because birds will poop on you.

What a shithole. Bums and pigeons are everywhere. This is an Obama voting neighborhood no question. Somebody asked me if I wanted to buy crack and I think they were serious (although the fella was so zombied out, I doubt he had drugs to sell. He probably just wanted to see if I had cash to steal.). That’s just a hunch. No hard data to back it up.
I am glad this place is here. If not I’d have to get off the Red Line in an even sketchier section of downtown. At least here it’s only about a 10 minute walk back to the normal part of town.
Be careful here after dark. It may be somewhat okay in the daytime, but the thugs come out to howl at the moon after the sun goes down in Dallas.
Please DO NOT FEED THE BUMS. It only encourages them. They harass us for drugs and money as it is.

This is a great Dart Stop that has access to many cool locations on the West End. There is a bus transit station right across the street that is super convenient. Great presence of police. Lots of food choices.

This is an ok dart stop. There’s a ton of police around all the time. The area stays decently clean. There’s a mix of people from business people, students, tourists, etc.

While located in a decent part of town, the DART West End Station is ratchet at its best. I took the DART to the fair and I must say I was surprised by some of the unsavory characters parading around the station. To say I was relieved when the train arrived just in the middle of a crazy, potentially volatile situation that was about to escalate is quite the understatement. It is really unfortunate that this station is in a great location but the clientele makes it less than a favorable stopping point.

Why 5 Stars You Ask Me.
Well here i go hold on tight
Putting on my comedian hat on. Please dont judge me it is what i see every day

Another great DART stop to take you to the West End of Dallas!
