^ The city of Dallas has dropped the idea a building a tunnel under Love Field and having a station directly at the terminal. They contacted a representative with the FTA last week and were told that any changes made to the current plans would put them in breach of contract with the possibility of losing funding on the current light rail expansion.

Instead, the city and DART will continue working on an alternative transit access from DART's rail into the terminal area, including a people mover system and traffic improvements to the nearby neighborhood.

That's great news for Dallas. I like the Dart System. I just wanted to know if any subways exist in Dallas too?

A very small part of DART is subterranean, probably just a couple miles or so.  Otherwise there is no subterranean component.

In most cases, they can only go underground to add rail.
