The station is also a hub for two on-demand services. Eastern Pilot GoLink, operated by DART, services Garland neighborhoods east of the station and the city of Rowlett,[5] while STARNow Mesquite, operated by STAR Transit, serves the city of Mesquite.[6]
History
Southeastern Garland was originally serviced by a park-and-ride lot at Audubon Park.[2]
Ground was broken on the current station in May 1993.[7] The station was completed in December 1994,[2] though the parking lot was opened earlier in the year.[8]
In 1996, plans were made to build bus-only ramps connecting the station to proposed HOV lanes on Interstate 30.[9] Ultimately, these ramps were not built, as the completed lanes stopped at Northwest Drive,[10] about a mile west of the station.
