SERVICE NOT IN OPERATION - DISCONTINUED ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 & REPLACED BY GOZONE ON-DEMAND SERVICE.
DCTA riders who need to get to their final destination in Denton have a real-time mobility option to help get them to their final destination. As some Denton Connect bus routes will end prior to A-train service, passengers can utilize DCTA's Downtown Denton Transit Center (DDTC) Evening On-Demand Zone service to assist rail passengers to get to their final destination.
Service Area
This on-demand service is provided from the DDTC to existing stops along Denton Connect Routes 1, 2, 3 and 6. The pickup location for this service is the DDTC, but passengers may be dropped off at any of the stops along those routes.
Service Hours
Service hours are Monday through Friday from 6:20 p.m. to 9:40 p.m.
The service will not run on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
Cost to Ride
A DCTA Local Day or AM/PM Passes gives riders access to the A-train, Connect Bus Service, Campus Shuttles, Lewisville Lakeway On-Demand and DDTC Evening On-Demand Zone services. University of North Texas (UNT) faculty and staff can ride the DDTC Evening On-Demand service free with a valid ID.
Passengers can book a trip in real-time via the DCTA On-Demand mobile app which can be downloaded from the Apple and Google Play store or by calling 940.243.0077. The DCTA On-Demand app logo is to the left.
