Transit Bus Operations

Fares

City of Norman transit service operates fare-free.

As part of the Go Norman Transit Plan, a Fare Analysis was conducted and recommended to continue fare free operations. If a fare was considered in the future, a public participation process must be conducted before implementation.

Norman to OKC commuter bus service (Norman Express route 024, formerly the Sooner Express) is operated through EMBARK OKC. A single trip cash fare for this route is $3.00 per adult, and $1.50 for reduced rate riders. Additional information about fares and passes for OKC transit services can be found here.
