It has been well over a year since Tulsa Transit had to come before the council and give lame excuses on why they didn't have a slick planning system like Norman a la Google Transit.  The last excuse was they had a system and they were just working out the final details.  Well a lot of time has passed and there is still no planning web site.  This is a horrible wasteful organization that needs to explain itself.  If it had all the pieces in place before the smile hit the fan budget wise then there is no excuse not to have this up and running by now.

That's part of the problem.  All we have is rocks, no track.

I find it highly unlikely that Tulsa Transit would be able to install any kind of downtown or commuter rail system on their own.  I would expect feasibility studies, environmental studies, NIMBY, begging for money, and so on.  Rail systems do not magically appear.  I was fortunate to grow up near rail transportation that was established about a century ago.  (Phila, PA metro area)

If we get light rail, I suspect Tulsa Transit will go the way of DTU and there will be a new agency created for a good buddy or child of someone in the money belt to administer public transit.

none if this rail talk relieves them from their original promise to roll out their own bus route planning system.
