Bachman station is a DART light rail station in Dallas, Texas. The station is located near Bachman Lake and the interchange between I-35E and Loop 12. The station serves both the Green Line and Orange Line. It is the northernmost station to serve both lines; the Green Line continues north to Carrollton, while the Orange Line continues northwest to Las Colinas and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
DART's Northwest Rail Operating Facility is located between Bachman and Walnut Hill/Denton station, which means that some trips terminate at the station to allow vehicles to exit service.
As of May 2025[update], the station has the highest ridership of all DART light rail stations outside of Downtown Dallas, with an average of 2,111 riders on weekdays, 1,628 riders on Saturdays, and 1,457 riders on Sundays.[4]
History
[edit]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]
