Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority, usually known as MTTA or Tulsa Transit^{[lower-alpha 1]}, 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: Denver Avenue Station in Downtown Tulsa and the Memorial Midtown Station in the southeast of the city.

Operations

Tulsa Transit operates regular fixed service Monday to 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. Tulsa is thus one of the largest US cities without 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 although it does not run as a full-time bus fleet. 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.
• 2xx routes serve various parts of the city between Denver Avenue and Memorial Midtown Stations.
• 3xx routes serve Memorial Midtown Station to various parts of the city without going to Downtown Tulsa.
• 4xx routes serve neither transit center but serve parts of the city.
• 5xx routes serve Broken Arrow.
