The DFW Metroplex is likely to continue its dramatic growth.  Since I moved to Dallas in the early 1970s, the Metroplex has grown from approximately 1.5 million people to nearly 7 million.  Yet, the percentage of people using public transit has remained relatively constant. Whether future growth as the economy ramps up will result in a higher percentage of people using DART remains to be seen.   Toyota is moving its U.S. headquarters to Plano.  According to the Dallas Morning News, they will be taking space in Legacy Park.  It is not served by the light rail system.  I suspect most of the Toyota employees will drive to work.   Several other major firms, according to the DMN, have announced plans to move to new offices near Victory Station and in Up Town. People working near Victory Station might be enticed to use the TRE and/or DART light rail.  But Up Town, where I lived for five years, is a different matter.  It is not served conveniently by light rail. When I lived in Up Town I rode the McKinney Avenue Trolley downtown or walked.  Most of the people in the apartment complexes around me drove downtown, if that is where they were headed, or more often than not, they drove across town.
