Route 840 - South Irving FLEX is an entirely new type of service, offering the advantages of a fixed route plus the convenience of curbside service.This service charges a local fare for boardings at bus stops and a premium fare for trips that FLEX away from the fixed path. FLEX requests will be limited to a specific zone and accepted according to the operator's ability to accommodate the trip within the schedule.
Route 840 - South Irving FLEX will serve an area bounded roughly by Story Road on the west, Fifth/Sixth streets on the north, Britain Road, Senter Road and MacArthur Blvd. on the east, and Oakdale and Hunter Ferrell roads on the south. Hours of operation will be 5:30 a.m.-9 p.m. weekdays, and 7 a.m.-7 p.m. weekends. The service replaces Bus Routes 302 and 306, which will be discontinued south of South Irving Station.
Vans will follow a fixed route (see map) in a clockwise direction, leaving South Irving Station on the hour and half hour from 5:30-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. on weekdays and hourly at other times and on weekends.
