Route 408 stops at DFW Remote South Parking
Bus 408 from Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) runs between Downtown Dallas and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, stopping at the Remote South Parking lot on airport property. This is a regular local bus, not an express airport coach, so build in extra time compared with the Orange Line light rail to DFW.
Dallas Area Rapid Transit labels this service as Route 408, and it connects into the wider DART bus and rail network inside Dallas County. You pay standard DART local fares on this line, not a special airport surcharge, which keeps the cost lower than most rideshares from Downtown Dallas to DFW.
At the airport, Bus 408 serves the Remote South Parking facility south of the terminals, not Terminals A, B, C, D, or E directly. From Remote South, you transfer to the airport’s own shuttle system to reach your check-in area, so add at least one extra shuttle ride into your timing.
DART bus fares on Route 408 follow the same structure as other local buses, using DART passes that cover buses and light rail for a set number of hours. You can usually buy a pass through DART’s GoPass app or at ticket vending machines along rail lines, then present it when you board 408.
Service frequency on Bus 408 depends on time of day and day of week, with more trips during standard commuting periods and fewer at night and on weekends. If you arrive at DFW after 21:00, check the latest DART schedule before relying on 408, since late-night headways can stretch out.
To get from your terminal to Bus 408, first take the airport’s internal shuttle from Terminals A, B, C, D, or E to Remote South Parking, then look for the signed DART bus stop for Route 408. The airport shuttle links terminals and parking areas continuously, but exact wait times vary by time of day.
One simple tip: pull the current Route 408 timetable from DART’s official site or GoPass app before you leave home, then match your flight arrival or departure against the Remote South Parking timepoints so you’re not guessing once you land at DFW.
