Fort Worth -To- Tulsa

[sauerkraut]

Hey Gang, is there any low cost non-stop bus or train service from "T" Towne to Fort Worth Texas (up & back)? Driving down to Fort Worth is 250 miles one way and fuel prices are high plus my old heap does not need any more wear & tear on it, it's pushing 300,000 miles as it is (1990 F-150 truck). Flying is alot of hassle now a days and rental cars are expensive to drive from the airport to Fort Worth. Just wondering thanks. It'll be great if Tulsa had a rapid rail system to Fort Worth.

Heartland Flyer from OKC to Ft. Worth.  Otherwise check Greyhound's schedule.

"Non-stop" Tulsa to Ft. Worth? You're joking right?

This is the cooked cabbage we're talking to, remember?

rental cars are expensive to drive from the airport to Fort Worth.

Pro tip: When renting a car, do not rent from the airport. Avis and Hertz both have cars for reasonable prices at their off-airport locations, despite their highway robbery at the airport.

I knew he was cooked, but this is boiled pickeled and totally wasted territory.

Have taken the train from OKC to Ft Worth and it is good.  Park at the Marriott lot across from station and hop on.  Can rent a car (Enterprise) at the Ft Worth train station.  Eat at Cattlemen's in old town area.  Exceptional!

Monday through Friday is kind of like riding the bus, but weekends seem to have more "touristy" types.  Christmas train is fun, too.

But you gotta get to OKC.

It's a very nice trip.

sk Is a cheapster, he will whine about having to drive to OKC, or worse yet, whine that there is no express bus service to the AmTrak terminal in OKC.

Yeah I know that but getting off the airport grounds to find a cheaper car rental place is a hassle in it's own right - Driving to OKC is 112 miles to catch a train to Fort Worth, I might as well drive south on highway 75 and be half way to Fort Worth with those 112 miles I used driving to OKC. Fort Worth is a odd distance too far to drive too close to fly. Anyhow thanks gang. I'll digest the info.

That's what  people call it- There was some big  event in Tulsa not long ago  and they called it "The T-Town art show".. Dallas Texas is offten called "The Big "D"....  Fort Worths nickname is "CowTown".

Dude. I've lived in Tulsa all of my 44 years and "people" do NOT call it T-town. It's antiquated and corny. Unless you're 87 years old, get over it and call it Tulsa.

T-town could be Tecumseh (of which there are 5) or Toledo (there are 6), there is only ONE Tulsa. Don't dilute our identity.

WRONG...tht's what some smartass marketer calls it.  Smartass marketer wouldn't live here.

Might be kinda like you.
