Daily Schedule (Dallas to Plano)

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 Dallas to Plano 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.

Dallas to Plano: Overview

Traveling between Dallas and Plano is a common commute for residents, visitors, and business travelers in the North Texas corridor. The two cities lie roughly 20 miles apart, connected by a network of major highways, public transit lines, and local roads. Whether you are heading to Plano for work, shopping at the Legacy West district, or exploring the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, understanding your transportation options can save time and reduce stress. This guide provides a detailed look at the most practical ways to make the trip, including driving routes, DART rail and bus services, rideshare alternatives, shuttle options, and even active‑travel choices like biking or walking. By breaking down each method with real‑world details such as highway numbers, travel‑time ranges, and notable landmarks along the way, you can choose the mode that best fits your schedule, budget, and preferences.

Getting There by Car

Route Options

The most direct route uses US‑75 North (Central Expressway). From downtown Dallas, take the I‑30/I‑35E interchange (locally called the Mixmaster) and follow signs for US‑75 North toward McKinney. Stay in the left lanes for the expressway; after about 12 miles you will pass the Galleria Dallas on your right and the Arboretum shortly after. Continue north, crossing the President George Bush Turnpike (TX‑161) at exit 44B, then stay on US‑75 until you reach the Plano Parkway exit (exit 39B) which deposits you into the heart of Plano’s commercial district.

Alternative corridors can be useful if you are approaching from the east or west sides of the metroplex. The President George Bush Turnpike (TX‑161) forms a western loop; entering it from I‑35E south of Dallas lets you travel northbound and exit at Coit Road (exit 23) to reach Plano’s western neighborhoods. Another option is the Sam Rayburn Tollway (TX‑121), which runs parallel to US‑75 a few miles to the east; you can join TX‑121 from I‑635 (LBJ Freeway) and exit at Preston Road (exit 24) to arrive in central Plano. These toll roads often have less congestion during peak periods, though they require a toll tag or pay‑by‑plate.

Traffic Patterns

Travel time by car varies strongly with the time of day. During off‑peak hours (late evening, early morning, or mid‑afternoon on weekdays) the trip typically takes 20 to 25 minutes, covering the roughly 20‑mile distance at steady speeds of 45‑55 mph on US‑75. Morning rush hour (approximately 7:00 – 9:00 AM) and evening rush hour (approximately 4:30 – 6:30 PM) can add 10 to 20 minutes, pushing the total to 35‑45 minutes, especially if incidents occur near the Mixmaster or the LBJ‑US‑75 interchange. Weekend travel is generally smoother, with average times of 22‑28 minutes, although special events at the Dallas Cotton Bowl or Legacy West can cause localized delays. Checking real‑time traffic apps before departure helps you anticipate slowdowns and choose an alternate route if needed.

Public Transportation Options

DART Rail

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) operates light‑rail service that connects downtown Dallas with Plano. The Red Line runs from the Westmoreland station in southwest Dallas through the downtown transit mall, then continues north through stations such as Pearl/Arts District, Cityplace/Uptown, and Parkland before reaching the Parker Road station in Plano. The Orange Line also serves the Parker Road station, originating at DFW Airport and traveling through Las Colinas and Irving. Trains generally arrive every 15 minutes during peak weekday periods and every 20‑30 minutes during off‑peak times, evenings, and weekends. The ride from downtown Dallas to Parker Road typically takes about 40‑45 minutes, depending on the specific station you board and any scheduled service adjustments.

Plano also benefits from several DART transit centers located near major employment hubs. The Legacy West station, situated near the Legacy West mixed‑use development, provides easy access to offices, retail, and dining. The Downtown Plano station, located near the historic downtown area, offers connections to local bus routes and is within walking distance of the Interurban Railway Museum. Both stations feature bike‑racks, sheltered waiting areas, and real‑time arrival displays.

Bus Services

DART’s bus network complements the rail lines with routes that serve neighborhoods not directly adjacent to light‑rail stations. Route 232 runs from the Parker Road station northward along Coit Road, serving the Willow Bend and Ridgeview areas. Route 234 travels east‑west along 15th Street, linking the Downtown Plano station with the Collin College campus and the Shops at Legacy. Route 238 provides north‑south service on Preston Road, connecting the Parker Road station with the Plano Parkway corridor and the Legacy West

Pickup Locations

Your Texas Shuttle picks you up where it says Prearranged at DFW or Ground Transportation at Love Field. If you are in a wheelchair, do not allow your attendant to leave you anywhere except Prearranged at DFW. The signs are easy to see, and they are always at the curb.
Security won't allow drivers to wait or walk more than 15 feet away from their vehicle, so good communication is essential. Turn on your cell phone and take it off airplane mode and silent, so your driver can call or text you. If you don't recognize the number, it's probably your driver.

DFW - Prearranged Limo is located at the lower level of each terminal. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.

Terminal A - Level 1 - Prearranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door A15 and A29.
