Via Rideshare, Arlington’s on-demand, rideshare public transportation service, is now offering a new monthly ViaPass option that offers passengers unlimited rides for only $80 a month.
Since 2017, Via Rideshare has helped residents, students and visitors reach neighborhoods, shopping centers, offices, restaurants, medical facilities and other key destinations across The American Dream City. The service also helps riders get to and from the CentrePort TRE Station, where they can connect to Dallas, Fort Worth and beyond.
Now in its fifth year, the service continues to provide an equitable and flexible on-demand transit offering that is free from fixed routes and schedules. Via’s platform routes passengers in real time to convenient pickup and drop off locations within just a couple blocks, enabling multiple passengers headed in the same direction to efficiently share a single vehicle. More than 1.3 million trips have been taken on the service since it launched in The American Dream City.
Riders can book a shared ride six days a week using a smartphone application or a dial-in phone number, 817-784-7382. The service operates from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays.
Don’t need rides for a whole month? Via Rideshare also offers a weekly ViaPass, which allows riders to take up to four trips per day for $25.
If you are not using a weekly or monthly ViaPass, fares for individual trips are based on trip distance, with a minimum of $3 per trip for rides up to 1.5 miles in length and a maximum of $5 per ride for trips over 6 miles in length. Trips to and from CentrePort to and from any destination or point of origin in Arlington remain at a flat $3 rate.
