Burbank Station is a DART light rail station located near Dallas Love Field airport for service on the Green Line and Orange Line.[2][3] The station opened as part of the Green Line's expansion in December 2010, and serves the headquarters for Southwest Airlines and an adjacent residential neighborhood.
This station was originally proposed to serve the airport terminal directly with an underground station (much like DART's Cityplace Station), but a 2004 study showed that cost would be well beyond acceptable levels and jeopardize a federal grant. The City of Dallas officials and transit agency agreed to a nearby surface-level station on March 12, 2007.[4] Because of this, the station was originally known as Love Field Station during construction. In 2010 Inwood/Love Field Station was designated for bus service to the airport. If a proposed $250 million people mover system is constructed (which would shuttle passengers directly to the terminal via a tunnel), Burbank Station may once again be designated the main station for Love Field.[5] The people mover would allow for a consolidated rental car facility and public parking to surround the station away from the congested terminal area.[6]
