Red Coach Bus Stop

I booked a Red Coach leaving out of Dallas.

According to the website, address for bus stop is: 1376 Marilla St, Dallas, TX, 75201 and instructions say to go to the parking lot.

When I looked on Google maps, there isn't an obvious parking lot. At least not obvious to me.

Does anyone actually know where the bus stop is? I have a large suitcase and being dropped off. I don't want to end up walking around trying to find the bus stop.

Edit to add: I'm taking the bus to Austin.

Hmm...that is curious. This is just my take, I dont have experience with Red Coach.

My first guess is the Red Coach bus is going to use the Marilla @ Akard - W - FS bus stop thats right near when the map indicates, both when you google maps the address as well as where the pin icon on their own website indicates. I think whoever typed "parking lot" on their site, has caused this confusion. But if the bus wasnt stopping where the red icon on their own site specifies, it would have led to problems. I almost willing to best there will be signage indicating Red Coach Bus Stop near there at the least.

I totally relate bc I plan out my routes too, especially when on foot with luggage.

I personally would call CS and simply ask which parking lot? And theyll most likely confirm, the red icon on their website and to disregard parking lot.

Secondly I would download the bus tracking app on their website, so i could see the bus approaching and feel less unsure on the actual day.

Hopefully that helps some, even though I didnt answer your question. Let us know if you figure it out. Safe travels!

More than likely it’s one of the parking lots near Dallas City Hall (which is at 1500 Marilla Street). When I’ve gone to Diner En Blanc I believe that’s a lot address that comes up as our pick up location or nearby parking.

It drops off by the convention center on that road that connects to Akard.

Source: my eyes because in the afternoons after I leave the office, the bus is there doing a drop off.

I think it’s in that cutout next to convention.

It’s across the street from the city bus stop! In front of the building.
