You must notify T-Line that you will not make your pick-up time and that you will-call when you are ready. T-Line will send a ride as soon as possible. The missed ride will not result in a no-show being recorded.

Yes, the system time stamps each message and that time will be listed as the cancellation time.
- DO I HAVE TO CALL EVERYDAY FOR A TRIP IF THE TIME AND DAYS THAT I TRAVEL ARE THE SAME WEEK-TO-WEEK?
No, subscription service is available when travel is at the same time and day each week. However, when necessary, a passenger must remember to cancel a subscription ride to avoid a no-show being recorded.
- WILL I BE TAKEN DIRECTLY TO AND FROM MY DESTINATION?
Not necessarily, T-Line is public transportation and sometimes passengers share rides.

The service area includes the sections of Texarkana TX, Texarkana AR, Wake Village TX and Nash TX that T-Line can pick you up and drop you off.
- WHERE DOES A T-LINE PICK-UP A PASSENGER WHEN THERE ARE MANY ENTRANCES TO A BUILDING?
