By bus
For those traveling by bus, Greyhound (http://www.greyhound.com) operates large terminals in both Dallas and Fort Worth, as well as smaller satellite terminals in the surrounding suburbs. Be aware, however, that the Downtown Dallas station has long been known by locals as a trouble spot and tends to attract transients and vagrants. Panhandling is a common occurrence and while the perpetrators are rarely violent, a high level of vigilance is strongly recommended for anyone who may pass through the terminal.
By car
The Metroplex is quite easily accessed by automobile. Interstate Highway 30 bisects the area west to east, and there are two branches of Interstate 35 that run north-south; I-35W through Fort Worth and I-35E through Dallas. In addition, Dallas is served by Interstate 45, which connects the area to Houston. The Metroplex is also served by several large US Highways and another score of Texas State highways.
By plane
The Metroplex is served by several airports, the largest of which being the vast and perpetually busy Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport IATA: DFW (http://www.dfwairport.com) colloquially known as "DFW Airport" or simply "DFW", which offers flights to and from esentially anywhere in the world. Keep in mind that with the high traffic, delays are common so plan well ahead and allow some extra time for contingencies. Those wishing to avoid the headache of DFW Airport might choose to fly into the smaller Dallas-Love Field IATA: DAL (http://www.dallas-lovefie...), which is located minutes north of Downtown Dallas. The schedule is not as varied as that of DFW, but it is far more simply laid out and navigable.
