There is a stigma to public transit in the Metroplex. About the only time people use it is to commute to work, so most of the day and on weekends there are very few riders.
And Arlington, where both Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers play, is particularly against public transit. IIRC each city that participates has to raise their sales tax by 1%, and City of Arlington chooses not to participate.
And unfortunately DART does its best to make public transportation look bad, so people don't support it, and many if not most resent having to pay the tax.
And in public meetings they treat attendees with contempt, making it obvious that they will ignore suggestions from the public, and do things their way.
