Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority

Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority, usually known as MTTA or 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, with two major transit hubs: Memorial Midtown Station at 7952 E. 33rd St. in Midtown Tulsa, and the Denver Avenue Station at 319 S. Denver across from the BOK Center in Downtown.

History
The city's first bus rapid transit line, known as "Aero" or 700, began operating on November 17, 2019, on Peoria Avenue from 52nd Street North to 81st Street South and Lewis. The route has 52 stations and buses that arrive every 15 to 30 minutes. The service officially launched on December 19, 2019.

In August, 2023, Tulsa Transit experienced its busiest month ever to that point, with ridership reaching about 290,000.

Operations
Tulsa Transit operates regular fixed service Monday to Saturday, from early mornings to early evenings. After daytime service ceases between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., the service operates night service on its "Nightlines" until midnight. Bus frequencies are 30 or 60 minutes Monday through Saturday. A fixed route service with reserved deviations permitted (identical to Nightline routes), operates on Sundays. There is no service on public holidays.

The service used to be known for request stops: bus stops were infrequently signed and would stop on request typically after any intersection where it is safe to do so. This practice was abolished, and stops posted, in a September 2019 system redesign.

Tulsa Transit operates a variety of routes all over the city, and into Jenks, Broken Arrow and Sand Springs although it does not run as a full-time bus fleet in those locations. Each set of routes is grouped by the first of the three digits, as follows:
 * 1xx routes serve Denver Avenue Station to various parts of the city.
