It is also famous for historic Route 66. - **Airports:** Will Rogers World Airport (OKC) and Tulsa International Airport (TUL) handle the majority of commercial passenger flights. - **Rail:** Extensive freight rail networks run by BNSF and Union Pacific. Passenger service is provided by Amtrak's *Heartland Flyer*, connecting Oklahoma City to Fort Worth, Texas. - **Public Transit:** Local transit includes EMBARK (OKC) and Tulsa Transit, both expanding their bus rapid transit (BRT) networks. OKC also operates a modern downtown streetcar system. - **Waterways:** The McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System provides an inland waterway connecting the Tulsa Port of Catoosa and the Port of Muskogee to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.
