Tulsa Transit Celebrates 2 Million Riders and Launches Metrolink Bus Services

In a recent meeting focused on the future of transportation in Tulsa, officials celebrated a significant milestone for Tulsa Transit, announcing that the service has reached 2 million riders in 2023. This achievement highlights the growing importance of public transit in the community and reflects the ongoing evolution of the city's transportation network.

Central to this transformation is the introduction of the Arrow bus rapid transit (BRT) system, which has already doubled ridership and is connecting residents to opportunities across the city. The Peoria Arrow BRT has been described as a "transformative force," and plans are underway for the Route 66 BRT line, which aims to further enhance connectivity and reduce travel times for residents.

In addition to these developments, Tulsa Transit is rebranding its services to better serve the community. The main bus service will now be known as Metrolink Tulsa, alongside new services called MicroLink and Link Assist. This rebranding is part of a broader effort to improve the public transit experience and ensure that it meets the needs of all residents.

As Tulsa Transit continues to evolve, the focus remains on linking people, places, and communities throughout Oklahoma. The excitement surrounding these changes reflects a commitment to enhancing the daily lives of residents and fostering a vibrant, connected community.
