I guess I can justify visiting Dallas. :-P

Is there air service between Midway and DFW? Then you could take the Orange Line to visit the Orange Line.

One-seat rail is convenient, but 52 minutes to downtown Dallas isn't fast. Last summer I rode the Orange line out to the then-terminal at Belt Line. After the University of Dallas, trains crawl through Las Colinas Urban Center along a boulevard lined with apartments/condos, then take a twisty route with sharp curves the rest of the way to Belt Line.

Heh, figures. 10 days after I leave Texas, when I was living there for 3 months.

Dallas already was very visitable. Great light rail system, the Trinity Railway Express is a fun ride, and then there's real vintage car service with McKinney Avenue Transit Authority.

On my list of places to visit next year.

It has enough since it's not a one line wonder, and if I was bored, I could always tag a trip down I-45 to combine it with Houston. Mind you, for a bit more money, I could go to LA and throw in San Diego as a bonus. Or I could wait and save up for a European system with even more trains... :-)

But at least I don't have to blow money on a taxi to avoid riding a bus :-p

There certainly is from O'Hare. It seems all the service from Midway to Dallas is to Love Field, however.

SWA only flies to Love Field, not DFW (and service hasn't started yet).

So then you can fly direct to DFW on American.

Technically you can ride the Orange Line from Midway to the Orange line at Love Field. DART's Orange line stops at Inwood/Love Field Station. Route 524 provides the connection into Love Field from the Rail Station.
