Embark (styled all caps as EMBARK) is the public transit authority of the COTPA (Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority) trust, the largest transit agency in the state of Oklahoma. EMBARK has 20 interconnecting routes covering the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area, including a weekday Express route to Downtown Oklahoma City from Norman, and the "Oklahoma Spirit Trolleys", a trolley-replica bus network. ==History== The Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority was established on February 1, 1966 by the Oklahoma City Council to continue transit service as private operator Oklahoma Transportation Company, which provided bus service to the community, as City Bus Company, had announced it would discontinue transit service due to low ridership. There were initially only 18 buses, all leased from OTC.〔http://www.gometro.org/history-3〕 The system was rebranded as MassTrans in 1975〔http://www.gometro.org/history-3〕 and used that name until 1992, when it was rebranded as Metro Transit,〔http://www.gometro.org/history-4〕 though the official name remains in use as well. COTPA was reorganized in 1989, when the city established a Transit Services division to provide senior management through an inter-local operating agreement. COTPA also bought Union Station which serves as headquarters to this day.〔http://www.gometro.org/history-3〕 In September 2013, it was announced Metro Transit will change its name to EMBARK which will take effect on April 28, 2014, which will include a new bus route system. On October 15, 2015, EMBARK announced that they will be offering free Wi-Fi on all buses, on all routes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Embark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
