Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority, shorthandedly known as Tulsa Transit is the public transit system operating buses and paratransit for Tulsa, Oklahoma. In existence since 1968, the system consists of 21 regular routes and 4 night routes. It has two major transit hubs: Denver Avenue Station in downtown Tulsa and the Memorial Midtown Station in southeast Tulsa.

Operations

Tulsa Transit operates regular fixed service Monday through Saturday from early mornings to early evenings. After daytime service ceases at about 6:30 p.m. the service operates night service on its "Nightlines" until midnight.

Bus frequencies are generally about every 45 min during peak times and every 90 min during middays and on Saturday. No Sunday service is provided, which gives Tulsa a distinction of being one of the largest American cities not to be provided public transit seven days a week.

Routes

Denver Avenue Station

Tulsa Transit operates a variety of routes all over the city and into Jenks, Broken Arrow and Sand Springs, despite the setback of not running as a full-time bus fleet. Each set of routes are grouped by the first of three digits as follows:
