Anyone who was excited about the University of North Texas' upcoming appearance in the second annual Heart of Dallas Bowl now has an extra reason to be pumped.

The Denton County Transportation Authority and DART are teaming up to offer free transportation to and from the Cotton Bowl for anyone coming from Denton. Fans can pick up a limited number of free regional transit passes, which will be good on both DCTA's A-Train and DART's Green Line, from December 26 through December 31.

Passes are strictly one per person and must be picked up at Downtown Denton Transit Center or Apogee Stadium.

Passes are strictly one per person and are available only at DCTAs Downtown Denton Transit Center and UNTs North Texas Athletics Ticket Office located at Apogee Stadium.

I got my DCTA transit pass this morning. It was my first visit to the DCTA depot. I got there a few minutes after 6:00 this morning (12-26). Easy.

The Transit lady told me food was not allowed. Drinks are OK but must be covered.

This is going to introduce DCTA train service to many new customers. Like me. I can't wait.

Now if we could just introduce the train service to folks going in the other direction to help up pack Apogee next year.

It's a good thing this didn't happen tomorrow, but it's worth keeping an eye on to make sure service is restored as anticipated:

Update, 11:45 a.m.: The truck has been cleared and power restored. The downtown bus shuttles are canceled and service will be restored by early afternoon, DART says.

The passes they gave out are regional passes. You do not have to board at a DCTA station. You can get on anywhere...DCTA or DART. That's my understanding anyway.

Don't know about DCTA, but there are no gates to board DART trains. You simply need to have the pass handy if a fare enforcement officer asks to see it.

I went to the ticket office this morning which had a steady flow of people good news!

But they told me to ride the train all my party has to do is show our tickets yet I read on here they give you vouchers???

Is this a lack of communication once again I'm going to the station here in a bit just to check.. But it seems there is not a clear line of communication at the ticket office.

Yea, I have been pleased with the service and work of the ticket office whenever I go up there. It is almost as though someone or someone's are not communicating with these agents to let them know all of the information needed to be successful. Nice news on the steady flow of people!!

How about some applause for those working in the ticket office so many extra hours and being open new years eve is awesome!! :thumbsu:

i went by the train station and they gave me a pass without asking to see my game tickets. See you all tomorrow at the train station hope i make the transfer at the Trinity Mills Station-do they announce the stations on the train? my first time on the train. Also tomorrow i suggest we not call it the A-Train but call it the G-train.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Culturally speaking, UNT and Denton just don’t care about the teams here. If people do care, they get made fun of or looked at as if they have 3 heads. But if someone loathes our teams and is a student, professor, administrator, or citizen of Denton, they get all kinds of attention and praise from the others. It’s a town that loves being anti-establishment and going against the grain. And sports are most definitely at the top of the establishment definition to these people.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      I'm not trying to scold anyone here, but what's it gonna take for more people to come out and support our basketball teams? And other sports - softball and women's soccer are always solid, and volleyball just made a promising coaching hire. Our basketball teams are a combined 23-9, which is the best in The American. They're also a combined 17-1 at The Super Pit. But no one is showing up for games. I don't want this to turn into a bitch fest about our marketing. It is probably deserved, but the people on this board likely follow our athletics department on some other social media or email list. Every Monday on Twitter I see a post about what teams are playing at home this week. I know some aren't a big fan of basketball, do you dislike it more than you like the Mean Green? Many are rightfully getting turned off by NIL and the transfer portal. I don't blame you. But the coaching staff for the men are putting together its' school record eighth straight winning season. With Burton, the women won't be far behind. In football, I get it adds up for a family of four - tickets, parking, concessions. But the other five spectator sports offer free parking and normally a hella great ticket deal. Season tickets for basketball start at $99 (like $6.50/home game). If you like soccer, softball, and/or volleyball, an Olympic pass will get you a GA ticket for every home game for $75 (less than $2/ticket!). Again, not trying to call out the board, just want to raise awareness for our other sports, especially if you are feeling sour about football. Come out to The Pit at least one time the remainder of the season! The men and women deserve it. Next women's home game is this Wednesday, 1/15 at 6:30pm against defending conference champ Rice. The men play at home a week after that on the 22nd against Temple - last year's conference runner-up. Or, if you live in the Central Texas or Houston area, look for upcoming games at UTSA next Saturday, 1/18 and at Rice Tuesday, 2/11. GMG!
