A statewide system, measured in trips
DART’s published FY2026 fast-facts page also lists 4,993,265 fixed-route bus trips, 867,096 paratransit trips, 25,456 DART Connect trips and 549,071 SEPTA train trips. The listed component values do not reconcile if DART Connect is added on top of fixed-route bus, so this publication uses the agency’s stated systemwide total and does not independently sum the components. Confirm the definitions with DART before using subcategory totals.
We distinguish a source’s reported observation from our interpretation. Where an update is preliminary, approximate or not comparable across geographies, we say so. This page is an explanatory guide, not an official government notice or professional advice.
