Arlington On-Demand, the City’s on-demand rideshare public transportation service, offers both weekly and monthly ride passes that allow passengers to make up to four trips a day for a flat fee. The passes are only $25 a week or $80 a month.
Since 2017, Arlington On-Demand has helped residents, students and visitors reach neighborhoods, shopping centers, offices, restaurants, medical facilities, and other key destinations across The American Dream City. The service also helps riders get to and from the CentrePort TRE Station and the Eastchase Parkway area in Fort Worth, which includes bus stops for Trinity Metro, so they can connect to Dallas, Fort Worth and beyond. The service was previously known as Via Rideshare.
Now in its sixth year, the service continues to provide an equitable and flexible on-demand transit offering that is free from fixed routes and schedules. The service is operated by Via Transportation, and the platform routes passengers in real time to convenient pickup and drop off locations within just a couple blocks, enabling multiple passengers headed in the same direction to efficiently share a single vehicle.
Riders can book a shared ride six days a week through the Arlington Transportation app or a dial-in phone number, 817-784-7382. The service operates from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays.

If you are not using a weekly or monthly ride passes, fares for individual trips are based on trip distance, with a minimum of $3 per trip for rides up to 1.5 miles in length and a maximum of $5 per ride for trips over 6 miles in length. Trips to and from CentrePort to and from any destination or point of origin in Arlington remain at a flat $3 rate.
