Location

DFW Airport Terminal B station is a current terminal Trinity Metro TEXRail station and future Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Silver Line station located at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport between Terminal B and is located near DFW Airport Terminal A station used by DART light rail.

Operations

The station is the northeastern terminus of the TEXRail line which begins at T&P Station in Fort Worth. It provides a transfer point between TEXRail and the DART Orange Line via a covered walkway. It is located between International Parkway and South Service Road, in the area between Terminals A and B. An underpass and covered walkway connect the station with the lower level of Terminal B at Door B43 (named after nearby Gate B43). From there, passengers can access all other terminals using the DFW Skylink train inside the secured area of the airport, or the Terminal Link bus system outside of the secured area.

A second covered walkway connects to the DFW Airport Terminal A station, making it possible for passengers to transfer between DART or TEXRail or directly access Terminal A.

Terminal B station will also be the terminus of DART's Silver Line when it is completed.

The station has connections to Trinity Metro route 31, the TRE Link, which boards on the arrivals level of Terminal B and offers service to CentrePort/DFW Airport station on the Trinity Railway Express commuter rail line. FlixBus intercity coaches also board from the covered walkway between this station and the Terminal A station.
