Tulsa Transit offering ‘ride-share’ service

TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa Transit is now offering its own “Micro Transit” service, giving you a ride to wherever you need it, the same way a taxi might.

The service works similarly to a typical ride-share. You pull up an app on your phone, type in where you are, and where you want to go and within minutes a personal car comes to pick you up.

The big difference though? This service costs you a fraction of an Uber or Lyft.

“You’ll get the same price as a bus ticket right now, which is a dollar seventy-five,” Tulsa Transit’s Marketing Director BreAnna Hall said.

Hall said these personalized routes are meant to stand in place of some regular bus routes.

“We took the buses off of those routes and put Micro on there to maybe ease the accessibility for people,” she said.

Right now, the program is still in its pilot stage and is only available in limited locations during night hours and on Sundays.

Right now, the service is only offered in the north Tulsa area, but Tulsa Transit does expect to expand the service citywide within the next few months.
