University of Texas at Dallas Comet Cruiser

The University of Texas at Dallas provides a shuttle service dubbed the Comet Cruiser that operates in and around its campus in Dallas, Texas. The buses were purchased by Dallas Area Rapid Transit and thus feature a DART-inspired livery and logos, though operation of the route is contracted out to Echo Transportation.
