Akard

Akard Station is where the actual Dart building is located and it's not a bunch of not normal people walking and sitting around they just be passing thru

Good station right outside the DART headquarters. You can catch the orange, red, green, and blue lines from the station. There are benches and shade from the sun, though not much shelter in the rain.

Akard is a safe place you can catch your train and you have your dart police there

It's DART's flagship station 🚉 complete with DART mart, drunks, crackheads, and other vagrants.

Akard Station is a great transit spot in downtown Dallas for those looking to use the DART rail system, as the orange line separates out at this very location . Additionally, the station is conveniently located near several popular attractions, including the Dallas Museum of Art and the Meyerson Symphony Center.

The station itself is clean and well-maintained, with clear signage and helpful staff. There are plenty of benches for waiting and the platform is covered, which is great during hot or rainy weather.

One downside to the station is that the area immediately surrounding a junction, it can be a bit busy and noisy, which might be a concern for those who are looking for a quieter transit experience. However, the location is convenient for those looking to explore downtown Dallas.

Not as crowded at west end, Darts old Headquarters is here so less likely to get hassled at this stop as opposed to any of the other 3 primary stops downtown. You can switch to any line here(minus silver when it opens) Here’s some pics of possibly helpful info on their door

Its nice clean and quiet at night and secure you can see ppl walking going to a bar or restaurants some take their dogs for a walk and others going back to the hotel !!very different at daylight !
