Riders can board the bus shuttle at any of the 22 streetcar platforms along the route. Head signs will read “OKC Streetcar Service – Downtown Loop.” Real-time tracking will not be available, so please allow extra travel time. Please note the Bricktown Loop will not run during this service suspension, only the Downtown Loop.
The Thunder Game Day Bus Shuttle will run as scheduled, two hours before and one hour after the Thunder home games on Friday, Feb. 20, and Sunday, Feb. 22; visit EMBARKOK.com/Paycom for the latest information.
