Daily Schedule (Burleson to Dallas)
What is your daily schedule?
We pick you up on your schedule 24/7, and take you anywhere in Dallas and Fort Worth. Our professional shuttle drivers are normally 5-10 minutes early at your home in Fort Worth and Dallas, or right on time at Dallas Fort Worth. You pick the time we pick you up. Normally 30 minutes after you land is enough time to get your bags and find Prearranged.
What is my pickup time at DFW?
We normally pick you up 30 minutes after your plane lands for domestic flights, or 45 mins after for international flights. If you don't have bags, you can schedule your pickup time for 15 mins after you land, or 30 mins for international flights with no bags.
What happens if my flight is delayed in Dallas?
Pickup times automatically adjust to 30 minutes after you land if your flight is delayed for domestic flights at DFW, or 45 minutes after you land for international flights. Please let us know as soon as possible if your flight number changes. You can always text us if there is a delay. This is helpful since airlines don't always update things online when they are late.
What happens if my flight in Dallas arrives early?
Call or send us a text if you want us to pick you up early at Dallas Fort Worth, and we will let your shuttle driver know that you are ready to be picked up. Otherwise, we will pick you up at the scheduled time on your reservation. If it's hot outside, please wait inside the DFW terminal closest to prearranged until your car or airport shuttle is a minute or so away.
How soon should I make a reservation?
Although there is no set rule that prevents booking a Burleson to Dallas Shuttle last minute, it's a good idea to make your reservation as soon as possible so a shuttle driver is available and prevent any delays with picking you up. There's no need to confirm again if you've already made a reservation, and received a confirmation email.
How long does it take from Dallas or Fort Worth Texas?
Texas Shuttle trips from Dallas or Fort Worth Texas in normal traffic are about an hour and forty minutes versus three and a half hours on the bus with a bunch of people. Rush hour in downtown Dallas and Fort Worth will normally add 15-45 mins (30 mins on the average). You might think there's no way a bus or another shared ride shuttle company in Dallas or Fort Worth Shuttle would take that long, but they stop and wait 3-5 times to pickup people. Buses and other shuttles also don't leave on your schedule, so you might wait 30 mins - 1.5 hours if the bus is running late. With us it's just you going straight to Fort Worth or Dallas, normally non-stop in a nicer vehicle or shuttle.
What time should I be picked up?
The drive to Fort Worth is about 1 hour and 40 minutes. 3 hours and 30 minutes before your flight is normally enough time if you're going to DFW. Dallas Fort Worth recommends you be there 2 hours early to get through security and find your gate. Boarding in Dallas usually starts 30 mins before your plane takes off. However, one hour and thirty mins is generally okay. Dallas and Fort Worth Shuttle driving takes about 2 hours, then 3 and a half hours before your flight takes off is normally good. You start running the risk that they will give your seat away in Dallas about 40 mins before your flight takes off. Sometimes a little extra time is good and makes your trip to Fort Worth stress free by adjusting for the unexpected.

How Far Is It from Burleson, TX to Dallas, TX?
The drive from Burleson, TX to Dallas, TX covers roughly 45 to 49 miles depending on the route you take, and non-stop driving time runs about 45 to 48 minutes in typical traffic. According to distance-cities.com, the trip is 34.51 miles in a straight southwest-to-northeast line, but the actual road distance is about 46 miles (73.60 kilometers) when following the I-20 corridor. Rome2Rio puts the driving distance at 45 miles with a drive time of approximately 48 minutes, which lines up with what most commuters between southern Tarrant County and Dallas experience on a good day.
Of course, "good day" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Anyone who regularly drives the Burleson-to-Dallas route knows that the last stretch of I-20 and the approaches to downtown Dallas can slow to a crawl during morning and evening rush hours. Planning around peak traffic is half the battle on this corridor, and this guide walks you through every option: driving routes, public transit workarounds, costs, halfway-point stops, and what to do once you arrive.
Best Driving Routes from Burleson to Dallas
Route 1: I-20 East (The Workhorse)
The most common route is also the most straightforward. From Old Town Burleson, head east on Wilshire Boulevard (FM 1902/SH-174 corridor), merge onto I-35W or take Chisholm Trail Parkway north briefly, then pick up I-20 East. From there it's a straight shot northeast through Arlington and Grand Prairie before I-20 feeds into the Dallas area via I-30 or the Loop 12/Spur 408 connectors. This is the route behind the 46-mile figure cited by distance-cities.com, and it's the one most navigation apps will default to.
Route 2: Chisholm Trail Parkway to I-30
When I-20 is congested, many locals take the Chisholm Trail Parkway (SH-121 toll road) north from Burleson into Fort Worth, then catch I-30 East toward Dallas. This adds a toll but can save serious time when the I-20/Great Southwest Parkway interchange is backed up. The trade-off: you're driving through the heart of the Metroplex, so I-30 between downtown Fort Worth and downtown Dallas carries its own heavy traffic.
Route 3: I-35W North to TX-183 or SH-114
If your destination is north Dallas, Love Field, or the Design District, going up I-35W and cutting east on TX-183 (Airport Freeway) or SH-114 can be smarter than sitting on I-20. Add 20 to 40 minutes during weekday rush periods, and more during major events — a Dallas Cowboys home game, a Mavericks playoff run, or a State Fair of Texas evening can all ripple through I-30 and I-20 traffic patterns.
How Much Does It Cost to Drive from Burleson to Dallas?
Gas and Fuel Consumption
Fuel is the biggest variable cost on this route. Distance-cities.com estimates the cost of gas at about $7.24 each way, based on an average Texas regular-gas price of $3.94 per gallon — though pump prices fluctuate, so treat that as a moving target rather than a fixed number. Rome2Rio's broader driving estimate of $8 to $12 per trip accounts for the same kind of variability. The route works out to roughly 1.9 gallons of fuel in an average car, which produces about 35.98 pounds of CO2 — a carbon footprint of roughly 0.79 pounds of CO2 per mile, per distance-cities.com.
Practical takeaway: a round trip costs most drivers somewhere in the low teens at current fuel prices, before tolls. If you make this commute daily, checking gas prices along I-20 exits in Grand Prairie versus stations in Burleson can genuinely add up over a month.
Tolls to Budget For
The base I-20 route is toll-free. You'll only pay tolls if you opt for the Chisholm Trail Parkway, the NTE, or express/tolled lanes elsewhere in the Metroplex. A TxTag or other interoperable toll tag makes those lane choices seamless.
Parking in Dallas
Downtown Dallas garages typically charge hourly rates with daily maximums, while destinations like Bishop Arts, Deep Ellum, and the Dallas Farmers Market mix metered street parking with paid lots. If you're headed to a venue in Victory Park near American Airlines Center, book parking ahead — event nights fill structures fast.
Getting from Burleson to Dallas Without a Car
This is the honest weak spot of the corridor: Burleson is one of the larger cities in the Metroplex without direct DART or Trinity Metro rail service to Dallas. There is no single-seat public transit option. Per Rome2Rio, the best car-free combination is a taxi to the Fort Worth La Gran Plaza (the shopping center at the former Seminary South site off I-35W), a bus connection toward Dallas, and then a transfer to a local DART bus to reach downtown — a journey of roughly 1 hour 1 minute total including transfers.
The Trinity Railway Express Workaround
A popular hybrid strategy: drive or rideshare from Burleson to a Fort Worth rail station, then ride the Trinity Railway Express (TRE), operated jointly by Trinity Metro and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART). The TRE runs between Fort Worth's T&P Station and Central Station through to Dallas Union Station and Victory Station, with hourly frequency and a 3-hour adult pass priced around $3, according to DART. The rail leg takes roughly 54 to 58 minutes and drops you downtown without fighting I-30 traffic. DART's customer line is +1 214-979-1111 if you need current schedules.
Rideshare and Taxi
An Uber or Lyft from Burleson to downtown Dallas will typically run considerably more than driving yourself, given the 45-plus-mile distance, and surge pricing during events can push it higher. It's best reserved for one-way trips where you don't need your car on the Dallas end — airport runs aside, most regulars drive or combine driving with the TRE.
The Halfway Point: Where to Stop Between Burleson and Dallas
According to distance-cities.com, the exact halfway point between the two cities sits 22.87 miles from Dallas and about the same from Burleson, roughly 22 minutes from each. The closest town to that midpoint is Pantego, TX — about 25 miles from Dallas and 23 miles from Burleson, or 27 and 26 minutes respectively. Pantego is a small incorporated town surrounded by Arlington, and it's a handy excuse to know about a genuinely good local spot: the long-running hole-in-the-wall barbecue joint that locals have lined up for decades.
The major city nearest the halfway point is Arlington, about 20 miles from Dallas and 25 miles from Burleson (21 and 28 minutes by car, per distance-cities.com). Arlington is more than a pit stop — it's home to AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags Over Texas, and the Arlington Highlands and Parks Mall shopping districts. If you're coordinating a meeting with someone coming from the Dallas side, Arlington's Entertainment District is the classic neutral ground.
