Transit
METRO Transit is the public transit provider with its new bus terminal downtown at NW 5th Street and Hudson Avenue. Metro has numerous routes, most of them being in the central inner city areas and commuter routes from Edmond and Norman to downtown. Metro's service is lacking in some respects, but there are plans to improve it through Metro's vision known as Fixed Guideway Study.
Also part of the FGS, a new downtown trolley system might be implemented under the city's new MAPS 3 initiative. The light-rail trolley could connect the CBD with the other major downtown districts in the short term, with expansions proposed to Asia District and the NW Business District as well as the Oklahoma Health Center and Research Park and the Capitol District. The study results also shows commuter rail from downtown to the suburbs of Edmond and Norman and a comprehensive rapid bus network for the remainder of the metropolitan area.

Famous quotes containing the word transit:
“There’s that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
“We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
