Now in its second year, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday only of the tournament, The T will provide special non-stop bus service to Colonial from downtown Fort Worth’s T&P Station. The T&P Station is a hub for the TRE commuter rail, so tournament goers can board the TRE from anywhere in D/FW, connect with the T's Colonial bus and end up right at the tournament.   The T's buses run on clean-burning compressed natural gas, so it fits right in with the tournament's green initiative. Train riders will pay $5 from Dallas County and $3 from Tarrant County, which includes the round trip bus ride to the tournament. Patrons may also drive to and park at the T&P Station, and ride the Colonial express bus for $3.
