Operations
Tulsa Transit operates regular fixed service Monday through Saturday from early mornings to early evenings. After daytime service ceases at about 6:30pm, the service operates nighttime service on its "Nightlines" until midnight. Bus frequencies are generally about every 45 minutes during peak times and every 90 minutes during middays and on Saturday. No Sunday service is provided; this gives Tulsa a distinction of being one of the largest American cities not to be provided public transit seven days a week.
