FRISCO LAUNCHES A TRANSPORTATION SERVICE CENTRIC TO THE DOWNTOWN RAIL DISTRICT
(June 12, 2026) The City of Frisco is launching a pilot transportation service dedicated to moving people around the historic downtown Rail District. The vehicles are dubbed Rail District ‘Boxcar’, a nod to downtown’s railroad history. The FREE service is operating now.
Two vans will circulate around downtown. One ‘Boxcar’ seats six, the other seats as many as 12.
Currently, there are 13 stops, stretching from World Cup Way to the west and to North County to the east. In between, the ‘Boxcars’ will travel along Main and Elm Streets -- even passing through Frisco Square, where it will stop at City Hall.
“When we began the downtown revitalization project, we removed on street parking on Main Street in an effort to widen sidewalks and improve walkability,” said Brian Moen, Assistant Director, Engineering Services. “As we worked to make downtown more pedestrian friendly, we’re piloting this transportation service to provide our residents and visitors convenient, easy access to our downtown merchants.
‘Boxcar’ Hours of Operation:
Friday: 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Saturday: 9 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Sunday: 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.
The ‘Boxcar’ service is the latest public transportation option for residents and visitors. In May, the city launched GoZone, an on-demand ride share service.
