Daily Schedule (Wichita Falls 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 Wichita Falls 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.

Wichita Falls to Dallas at a Glance: Distance, Time, and Your Best Options

The quick answer: Wichita Falls, Texas sits about 147 miles northwest of Dallas, making it one of the closest mid-size cities to the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. Driving takes roughly 2.5 to 3 hours depending on traffic and your final destination in Dallas. If you'd rather leave the driving to someone else, Greyhound runs the route directly, with the fastest bus completing the trip in around 2 hours 40 minutes over approximately 148 miles of highway, according to Greyhound's published schedule data.

Because the trip is short by Texas standards, every option on the table is realistic — driving yourself, riding the bus, booking a private shuttle, or combining the bus with DART light rail once you arrive. Schedules, fares, and stop locations change — always confirm details with the operator before booking.

Driving from Wichita Falls to Dallas: The US-287 Route

The standard driving route from Wichita Falls to Dallas follows US Highway 287 East for nearly the entire trip. You'll pass through classic North Texas prairie towns including Bowie and Decatur, where 287's wide medians and passing lanes make for easy cruising. Past Decatur, continue southeast on US-287 toward the western edge of the Metroplex, then connect into Dallas via the area's interstate loops depending on your destination — I-35E, Loop 12, or the Dallas North Tollway are the most common approaches for downtown.

MapQuest's route planner for the Dallas-to-Wichita Falls corridor reflects this same 147-mile corridor, so expect a similar drive in either direction. Add buffer time during North Texas rush hours (roughly 7–9 a.m. and 4–7 p.m. on weekdays) and during severe weather — this part of the United States sees ice storms in winter and thunderstorms in spring that can slow US-287 considerably.

Good Stops Along the Way

Bowie, TX — a classic small-town fuel and coffee stop about an hour into the drive.
Decatur, TX — home to the striking Wise County Courthouse on the square, worth a detour if you have time.
Chain of Rock-top rest areas — TxDOT maintains safety rest areas along the US-287 corridor for a quick stretch break.

Taking the Greyhound Bus from Wichita Falls to Dallas

For travelers without a vehicle, the bus is the workhorse option on this route. Greyhound schedules 2 buses per day from Wichita Falls to Dallas. According to Greyhound's published information, the first bus departs at 2:25 p.m. and the last departs at 2:30 p.m. — an unusually narrow window, so plan your day around the early-afternoon departure window and verify times when booking, since schedules can shift seasonally.

What to Expect of Your Trip

The ride covers roughly 148 miles and can take as little as 2 hours 40 minutes on the fastest schedule. Greyhound's motorcoaches on this corridor feature reclining seats, climate control, an onboard restroom, and free Wi-Fi — enough to stream, scroll, or catch up on work during the ride south. Power outlets at your seat help keep devices charged from Wichita Falls all the way into downtown Dallas. Experiences vary by vehicle and route conditions, so treat amenities as a bonus rather than a guarantee, but the modern fleet is generally a comfortable way to cover the trip.

Luggage: What You Can Bring

Per Greyhound's baggage policy for this route, each rider can bring one carry-on bag (16 x 12 x 7 inches, up to 25 lbs) and one checked bag at no extra cost. That's ample for a long weekend in Dallas, but if you're moving large items — furniture, sports equipment, multiple suitcases — double-check oversized baggage rules or consider a shuttle service where vehicles can be matched to your luggage needs.

Reserve a Seat in Advance

With only two departures a day, seat availability is the one thing you don't want to gamble on. Booking ahead lets you reserve a seat and lock in your spot, and advance purchase usually means better fares than walk-up prices. If you're traveling during holidays, university breaks at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, or big Dallas event weekends, book early — those are the days this route sells out.

Digital Ticket and Live Bus Tracking

Gone are the days of printing anything. Greyhound issues a digital ticket to your phone, and their app and website offer live bus tracking so you can see where your coach is in real time and get informed about gate or timing changes. Arrive at the stop at least 15–30 minutes early, have your phone charged, and keep your ticket email handy in case of spotty cell service near the boarding area.

Need to Make a Change?

Plans shift — that's travel. Greyhound's reservation policies generally allow changes to tickets for a fee plus any fare difference, and refundability depends on the fare type you purchased at booking. If you think your dates might move, review the change and cancellation terms before you pay, and consider a more flexible fare class. Note that with only two departures daily, a missed bus could mean waiting until the next day, so build margin into your schedule.

Pay with a credit or debit card and receive your digital ticket by email.

Bus Stations and Stops: Where You Board and Arrive

Departing from Wichita Falls

Greyhound serves Wichita Falls with a designated stop — confirm the exact boarding address printed on your ticket or in your confirmation email, as Greyhound uses curbside and agent locations in many smaller Texas markets rather than full terminals. The stop is positioned for convenient access from downtown Wichita Falls, near the city's core attractions like Lucy Park and the Kell House Museum. Arrive early, since curbside stops have minimal signage and waiting areas.

Arriving in Dallas: The Harry Hines Boulevard Terminal

Important and recent change: effective December 8th at 9:00 PM CT, Greyhound relocated its Dallas terminal from the long-standing downtown address at 205 S. Lamar St. to 9755 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX 75220. Greyhound has informed riders of this move through its official channels. If you last rode this route years ago, don't head to the old downtown Lamar Street station — the new Harry Hines location, just northwest of downtown along the I-35E corridor, is your arrival point.

From the Harry Hines terminal, reaching downtown Dallas is straightforward: rideshare and taxi pickups are available at the station, and DART bus connections run along the Harry Hines corridor toward the city center, where you can transfer to the DART light rail system serving destinations like Deep Ellum, Klyde Warren Park, and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science.

Connecting to DFW Airport from the Dallas Bus Stop

Many riders traveling this route are ultimately bound for Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). If that's you, here's a useful wayfinding detail straight from the airport: Crossunder #2 is located between the DART and TRE Railway stations on the airport's southern side. If you're arriving by car — for instance, someone dropping you off — enter the airport using the Service Road only to access Crossunder #2. From there, the TRE (Trinity Railway Express) commuter rail from downtown Fort Worth or Dallas Union Station and DART connections give you rail-based options for reaching the airport without a car.

Alternatively, a private shuttle can take you from a Wichita Falls address all the way to your DFW terminal door — no transfers, no dragging luggage across rail platforms. Contact Texas Shuttle for availability and a quote.

More Travel Options Beyond the Bus

Rental car: Major rental agencies operate in Wichita Falls, letting you drive the US-287 route yourself and drop the vehicle in Dallas. Check one-way drop fees, which can significantly change the total cost.
Private shuttle service: Door-to-door service in dedicated vehicles, ideal for families with children, travelers with excess luggage, or anyone connecting to a flight at DFW or Dallas Love Field. See our Dallas to Wichita Falls shuttle service for the reverse direction.
Rideshare: Apps may connect you with a driver for the 147-mile haul, but expect a premium price and limited driver availability for such a long trip out of a smaller city.
Combination trips: Ride the bus to Dallas, then use DART light rail, the TRE, or a short rideshare for the last mile. This is often the cheapest car-free itinerary overall.

Making the Most of Your Time in Dallas

Once you arrive, Dallas rewards a little planning. Visit Dealey Plaza and the Sixth Floor Museum to engage with the city's most famous history, walk the murals of Deep Ellum, browse the boutiques of the Bishop Arts District, or spend a morning at the Dallas Arboretum on White Rock Lake. Food-wise, Harry Hines Boulevard itself — where the new bus terminal sits — is one of Dallas' best corridors for authentic Korean barbecue and Vietnamese food, so you can grab an excellent meal within minutes of stepping off the bus.

Heading back north? Wichita Falls makes a relaxed weekend base too, with the trails of the Wichita Falls River Bend Nature Center, the campus of Midwestern State University, and the city's namesake falls recreated in Lucy Park after the original natural falls washed away more than a century ago.

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.
