Eastern Pilot GoLink, operated by DART, services Garland neighborhoods east of the station and the city of Rowlett,[4] while STARNow Mesquite, operated by STAR Transit, serves the city of Mesquite.[5]
History
Southeastern Garland was originally serviced by a park-and-ride lot at Audubon Park.[2]
Ground was broken on the current station in May 1993.[6] The station was completed in December 1994,[2] though the parking lot was opened earlier in the year.[7]
In 1996, plans were made to build bus-only ramps connecting the station to proposed HOV lanes on Interstate 30.[8] Ultimately, these ramps were not built, as the completed lanes stopped at Northwest Drive,[9] about a mile west of the station. Nevertheless, DART began running an express bus on I-30.[10]
In 2023, a groundbreaking was held for a transit-oriented development project adjacent to the station.[11]
In 2026, the express route to Downtown Dallas was discontinued as part of a systemwide service reduction.[12] Service to Downtown Dallas remained available through a non-express route.
