Location

This station was originally proposed to serve the airport terminal directly with an underground station (much like Cityplace/Uptown station), but a 2004 study showed that costs would be well beyond acceptable levels and jeopardize a federal grant. The City of Dallas officials and transit agency agreed to a nearby surface-level station on March 12, 2007.^[3] Because of this, the station was originally known as Love Field station during construction. When the line opened in 2010 Inwood/Love Field station was designated for bus service to the airport.
