Call it SMU/Mockingbird Station
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has renamed Mockingbird Station after reaching an agreement with SMU.

Calling it SMU/Mockingbird station will make it easy for visitors to find the campus and make DART a significant gateway to the university, DART and university officials said.

“Taking DART to SMU/Mockingbird Station is an easy way to get to a wide variety of SMU events – from Division I sporting events, to lectures and artistic performances, as well as to the George W. Bush Presidential Center,” SMU president R. Gerald Turner said.
