History

The current Bachman station is sited on land that was purchased at the turn of the 20th century by the City of Dallas from Reverend John Bachman.[5]

The station was opened with the northern Green Line on December 6, 2010.[3]

In July 2014, a man was killed while trying to board a train, but was unable to do so and was pulled under the train.[6]

In 2024, intercity bus operator Greyhound Lines announced plans for a new Dallas bus terminal, which would be located across from Bachman station on Harry Hines Boulevard.[7] The station opened on December 8, 2025.[8]
