M-Line Charters Questions and Answers



How many people can ride on a chartered trolley?
It depends on the size of the trolley. We recommend between 32 and 35 passengers per car.

How many drinks does an M-Line cooler hold?
Approximately 24 standard 12 oz. cans.

Where is the best place to park?

For most charters we suggest parking near our Uptown Station on Cityplace West Blvd or on an adjacent cross street. This location can be accessed by autos or your guests can arrive via DART rail.

Where is the car barn?
Our Car Barn is located at 3153 Oak Grove Ave Dallas, TX 75204.

What does the M-Line consider "after hours?"

Any Charter time beyond 10:00 p.m. is considered after hours and will be billed at $200.00 per hour.

Are alcoholic drinks allowed during a charter?
Alcoholic drinks may be provided by the charter host on a BYOB basis, but M-Line personnel are prohibited from loading or handling these.

How big are the tables on the trolleys?

Tables between the seats are available for children's charters only and are approximately 30" x 24." Buffet tables are available for both Adult and children's parties and are approximately 6' x 24"

Can I bring an animal on board?
Under normal circumstances the M-Line is pet friendly, however the animal must be well behaved and on a leash or otherwise under your control. As always, service animals are welcome.

Can we charter more than one trolley at a time?

Due to service commitments we are typically limited to chartering only one trolley at a time.

Can the trolley wait for us if we want to get off for a few minutes?

Because our trolleys operate on city streets we are unable to stop in the street and wait. Additionally, other trolleys operating on a regular schedule need to come and go so we cannot wait in one place and block the track. However, we are able to hold at each end of the line: End of Cityplace West Blvd (Uptown Station) or St. Paul and Ross Ave (St. Paul Terminal).


Can we bring music on board?

Yes, but music must be battery operated and self contained.

Are the trolleys heated and air conditioned?

All of our trolleys are heated. With the exception of car 122 (Rosie), all M-Line trolleys are air conditioned.

Do the trolleys run in bad weather?

The trolleys run in all kinds of weather but can be subject to service delays if our power from TXU is interrupted by a storm or otherwise.
