Our Daily Schedule (Grapevine)

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.

Need a different leg of the trip? Our Dallas To Grapevine Shuttle page covers schedules, fares and door-to-door pickup.

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 Grapevine 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.

Grapevine Shuttle: The Complete Rider's Guide

The Grapevine Visitors Shuttle is a free-to-ride network of vintage-style trolleys that loops through Historic Downtown Grapevine and the city's major hotel and entertainment districts, connecting visitors with restaurants, wineries, shops, and attractions without the hassle of parking. Three color-coded routes — Merlot, Green, and Blue — run Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until roughly 6 p.m. (final runs begin at 6 p.m.), with no service on Mondays. The shuttle is operated by the City of Grapevine, and riders can get route information by calling 817.410.3185.

This guide covers everything you need to plan a trip: how each route works, where to board, how the shuttle connects with TEXRail commuter service and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, seasonal holiday service, accessibility details, and answers to the questions riders ask most.

Why Grapevine Runs Its Own Shuttle System

Grapevine sits in the heart of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, bordered by SH 114, SH 121, and State Highway 360, and it hosts the northern corner of DFW International Airport. That location makes it one of the most visited small cities in North Texas — home to Historic Downtown Main Street, the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, Grapevine Mills mall, SEA LIFE Aquarium, LEGOLAND Discovery Center, and the Gaylord Texan Resort. Heavy visitor traffic means parking around the Historic Downtown District can be tight on weekends, especially during the city's famous Christmas season.

The city solved that problem with the Grapevine Visitors Shuttle: a fleet of 1930s retro-looking trolleys, each seating approximately 23 passengers with room for an additional six standing riders. Every trolley is handicap equipped and can transport up to two wheelchairs. Because the shuttles are easy to spot and stop at designated points citywide, they function as a de facto visitor circulator — the kind of "park once, ride all day" system that Grapevine's tourism arm, Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau, actively promotes to anyone planning a visit.

Visitor Shuttle Routes Compared

All three shuttle routes share the same basic schedule: service runs Tuesday through Saturday, starting at 11 a.m., with the final run of the day beginning at 6 p.m. There is no shuttle service on Mondays on any route. Here's how the three lines break down:

Comparison of Grapevine Visitors Shuttle routes (verify current schedules with the operator before traveling)
Route	Service Days	Hours	Monday Service	Best For
Merlot Route	Tuesday–Saturday	11 a.m.–6 p.m. (final run begins at 6 p.m.)	No Shuttle	Winery and tasting-room hopping with a downtown anchor
Green Route	Tuesday–Saturday	11 a.m.–6 p.m. (final run begins at 6 p.m.)	No Shuttle	Hotel-district connections and resort-area destinations
Blue Route	Tuesday–Saturday	11 a.m.–6 p.m. (final run begins at 6 p.m.)	No Shuttle	Attractions and shopping stops around the city

The Merlot Route

The Merlot Route is a natural fit for Grapevine's identity as a wine-country destination in North Texas. The line links Historic Downtown Main Street — where dozens of tasting rooms, boutiques, and restaurants cluster along and around South Main Street — with winery-area stops. If your day is built around tasting rooms, this is the route to study first. Note the naming convention: Grapevine leans into its wine heritage everywhere from street names to shuttle color schemes, so "Merlot" is your cue that this line is wine-country-oriented.

The Green Route

The Green Route serves the hotel and resort side of Grapevine, an area that grew up along SH 114 and the thoroughfares feeding the airport corridor. Riders staying at the city's large convention and resort properties use the Green Route to reach downtown without moving their car, which is especially valuable during peak festival weekends when Historic Downtown parking fills fast.

The Blue Route

The Blue Route rounds out the network, connecting additional attraction and shopping destinations. Combined with the other two lines, it means most visitors can build a full Grapevine itinerary — museums, malls, tasting rooms, and dinner downtown — entirely on shuttle, rail, and foot.

Locations & Departures: Where to Catch the Shuttle

All pickup and drop off on the Visitors Shuttle is at designated stops only — drivers cannot make unscheduled curbside pickups. The most important boarding points include:

Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau — 636 S. Main St., in the Historic Downtown District. This is the logical first stop for any visitor: staff can hand you a Visitor Guide, shuttle maps, and current schedule sheets, and the building sits steps from Main Street attractions.
Grapevine Main Station — the downtown rail hub at the south end of Main Street, where the shuttle connects with TEXRail and the Grapevine Vintage Railroad. If you arrive by commuter train, this is your transfer point.
Hotel stops — designated pickup points near the major resort and convention properties in the SH 114 corridor, served primarily by the Green Route.
Attraction-area stops — designated stops serving shopping and entertainment destinations around the city, covered by the Blue Route and connecting lines.

Because roughly all trips use regular pickup and drop off at fixed stops, plan your day around the posted stop locations rather than expecting door-to-door service. A small number of stops (less than 1% of scheduled stops) require arrangements by phone, and stop times are generally interpolated between the key time points on the published schedule — so treat the printed times as approximate and arrive a few minutes early.

Connecting to TEXRail Commuter Rail and DFW Airport

TEXRail: The Commuter Rail Link

Grapevine's shuttle network matters even more because of TEXRail, the commuter rail line operated by Trinity Metro (ridetrinitymetro.com). TEXRail began service in late 2018 and today serves thousands of riders — roughly 8,000 daily riders across nine stations, with nearly 14,000 daily riders projected by 2035. The line runs between downtown Fort Worth and DFW International Airport's Terminal B station, with Grapevine's own station at Grapevine Main/Historic Downtown.

The practical takeaway for visitors: you can ride TEXRail from DFW Airport or Fort Worth into Grapevine Main Station, then transfer to the Visitors Shuttle to reach downtown attractions, wineries, and hotels — no rental car required. Conversely, Grapevine residents and hotel guests use the shuttle to reach the rail station for trips into Fort Worth or the airport. If your itinerary involves flying into DFW and staying in Grapevine, this shuttle-plus-rail combination is the most car-free way to do it.

Getting to and from DFW International Airport

Grapevine's city limits actually touch DFW Airport, and the airport sits just off SH 114 and SH 121 minutes from Historic Downtown. Travelers arriving by air have several ways to reach the shuttle network:

TEXRail from Terminal B — the most direct public-transit option, landing you at Grapevine Main Station where shuttle connections await.
Shared-ride and private shuttles — for travelers with luggage or late-night arrivals outside shuttle hours, a dedicated airport shuttle is often the smoother choice; our DFW airport shuttle service covers that leg door-to-door.
Rental car or rideshare — viable, but remember that once you're in Grapevine, the Visitors Shuttle lets you park once and move around car-free.

Christmas Capital of Texas Shuttle: Seasonal Holiday Service

Grapevine bills itself as the Christmas Capital of Texas, and the shuttle network scales up accordingly. Each year, the Christmas Capital of Texas shuttle route operates on a special seasonal schedule — for example, a recent season's holiday route began on Friday, November 27, and ran through Thursday, December 31. During that window, the shuttle becomes the easiest way to experience the city's holiday events, lights, and Downtown festivities without circling for parking.

Two cautions apply to holiday-season riders. First, the standing Monday no-service rule still matters: check whether the holiday route runs on your travel dates, especially if your trip includes a Monday. Second, holiday weekends draw the biggest crowds of the year — the trolleys seat roughly 23 riders plus six standing, so lines at popular stops can stretch. Arrive early, build buffer time into your plans, and confirm the seasonal schedule with the operator at 817.410.3185 or through the official Grapevine tourism channels before you go.

Buy Tickets, Fares & Passes: What Riders Need to Know

For the Visitors Shuttle itself, the operational details that matter most are schedule and stops rather than ticketing logistics — the system is designed as a visitor amenity, and fare and pass options are managed through the city's transit pages, which list passes and fare media for riders who need them. The city's transit pages include a "Buy Tickets" entry point and a fares-and-passes section (including nine pass options and four fare media types across the broader transit program), so if your trip involves TEXRail or connecting Trinity Metro services rather than just the Visitors Shuttle, check current fare information directly with the operator.

A practical rule of thumb for visitors: the trolley routes downtown and to the resorts are the easy, walk-up-and-ride part of your trip. Anything involving TEXRail, regional bus connections, or airport transfers is a separate fare system — budget for that leg separately and buy those tickets through Trinity Metro or your shuttle provider.

Planning Your Visit: A Quick Visitor Guide

Here's how experienced locals would string the system together for a one-day Grapevine itinerary:

Morning: Arrive via TEXRail at Grapevine Main Station, or park once at a downtown lot. Stop by the Convention & Visitors Bureau at 636 S. Main St. to grab a Visitor Guide and confirm that day's shuttle schedule — remember, Mondays have no shuttle service at all.
Midday: Ride the Merlot Route to winery-area tasting rooms, or the Blue Route toward shopping and attractions. Lunch downtown — Main Street's restaurant row is walkable from any downtown shuttle stop.
Afternoon: Use the Green Route to reach resort and hotel-district stops, or backtrack downtown for the Grapevine Vintage Railroad and museums.
Evening: Time your last shuttle carefully. Final runs begin at 6 p.m., so plan dinner downtown or arrange other transportation for the evening leg of your trip.

If your plans involve groups, events, or transfers to and from DFW or cities across the Metroplex — Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, or beyond — a charter or private shuttle fills the gap where the public trolley can't. See our Grapevine shuttle page for group transportation options or the Texas Shuttle homepage for routes across the state.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Grapevine Shuttle

Does the Grapevine shuttle run on Mondays?

No. All three Visitors Shuttle routes — Merlot, Green, and Blue — run Tuesday through Saturday only. Monday is a no-shuttle day across the network, so plan Monday outings around attractions within walking distance of your hotel or arrange other transportation. The only schedule nuance to watch is the seasonal Christmas Capital of Texas route, which operates on its own published calendar (a recent season ran from Friday, November 27, through Thursday, December 31) — always confirm holiday dates with the operator.

What are the hours of the Grapevine Visitors Shuttle?

All routes begin service at 11 a.m. and the final run of the day begins at 6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Because 6 p.m. marks the start of the last run rather than the end of service, build your return trip around that final departure. If you'll be out later, arrange a ride in advance.

Where does the Grapevine shuttle stop?

The shuttle stops at designated stops only, including the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau at 636 S. Main St., Grapevine Main Station (the TEXRail and Vintage Railroad hub), designated hotel stops in the resort corridor, and attraction and shopping stops across the city. Pick up the official Visitor Shuttle Map at the Visitors Bureau or view route maps online before you set out, since all pickup and drop off happens at fixed points.

How do I get from DFW Airport to Grapevine without a car?

Take TEXRail from DFW Airport's Terminal B station to Grapevine Main/Historic Downtown station, then transfer to the Visitors Shuttle for downtown, winery, and hotel stops. TEXRail opened in late 2018 and carries roughly 8,000 daily riders across nine stations between Fort Worth and the airport. Travelers arriving outside rail hours or carrying heavy luggage often prefer a private or shared-ride airport shuttle for the airport-to-hotel leg, then use the free-flowing trolley network once in town.

Is the Grapevine shuttle wheelchair accessible?

Yes. The 1930s retro-style trolleys are handicap equipped and can transport up to two wheelchairs per vehicle, along with approximately 23 seated passengers and six standing. Riders needing door-to-door accessible service beyond the fixed stops can look into the regional accessible transportation program by calling 817.336.8714, where staff complete applications over the phone.

How much does the Grapevine shuttle cost?

The Visitors Shuttle operates as a city visitor amenity, and its passes and fare media are listed on the city's transit pages alongside nine pass options and four fare media types across the broader transit program. Because fares and pass structures can change, treat any specific cost as an estimate and verify current pricing directly with the city or by calling 817.410.3185 before your trip. TEXRail and regional Trinity Metro services are fare-based separately from the Visitors Shuttle.

How often do the shuttles run, and how long should I wait at a stop?

Published stop times are interpolated between time points — fewer than 1% of scheduled stop times are strictly adhered to as fixed clock times — so treat the schedule as a guide rather than a guarantee. Arrive at your designated stop several minutes early, and allow extra time during peak seasons, particularly the Christmas Capital of Texas period when crowds are largest. For real-time questions on the day of travel, the operator line at 817.410.3185 is the fastest source of current information.

The Bottom Line on Getting Around Grapevine

Grapevine is one of the few Texas cities where a visitor can genuinely skip the rental car: TEXRail delivers you from DFW Airport or Fort Worth to Grapevine Main Station, and the three-route Visitors Shuttle network fans out from there to downtown, the wineries, and the resort corridor every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to the 6 p.m. final runs. Know the two hard rules — no Monday service and designated stops only — confirm seasonal holiday schedules before you travel, and keep the operator's number, 817.410.3185, handy. For everything outside the trolley's reach, from late-night airport runs to group charters across Texas, Texas Shuttle has you covered.

Our Dallas and Fort Worth vehicles are clean and newer. Most vehicles are luxury and full size. We have Mercedes Sprinter Shuttles, Lincoln Navigators, Lincoln MKZ's, and a variety of other vehicles.

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 - Pre-arranged Limo is located at the lower level of each terminal.

Terminal A - Pre-arranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door A15 and A29. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.
Terminal B - Pre-arranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door B8 and B30. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.
Terminal C - Pre-arranged Limo is across the crosswalk from Door C4, C10, C24 and C30. Please choose the closest one to your gate and let your driver know when they call or text you.
Terminal D - Pre-arranged Limo is Downstairs on Level 0 near Door D22.
Terminal E - Pre-arranged Limo is Downstairs near Door E35 on Level 0.

Love Field - Ground Transportation is on the lower level down the ramp from the baggage claim. Head to the right, and we pick you up where it says Oversized Vehicles.
