After a rigorous safety review, two years of construction and six months of testing and training, the Oklahoma City Streetcar is set to announce, "All aboard." ... Service on the $136 million, 6.9-mile MAPS 3 downtown streetcar system begins Friday.
Transit officials prepared to accommodate 10,000 to 15,000 riders on opening day, based on averages in other cities, and up to 50,000 for the opening weekend.
Rides will be free the first three weeks. ... After that, the fare is $1 per ride and $3 for a 24-hour pass.
A streetcar will be the backdrop as choirs and bands welcome the public to a grand opening ceremony starting about 9:30 a.m. at Leadership Square, 211 N Robinson Ave.
