Car travel is the only way to explore Oklahoma. Amtrak serves Oklahoma City with one train a day from Fort Worth, Texas. Greyhound
buses
speed along I-35 and I-40, which converge on Oklahoma City, but public transportation within the towns is minimal. Tulsa and Oklahoma City have
airports. Route 66
, which passes through both cities on its way from Missouri to Texas, is no longer a national highway, but if you have plenty of time (and sturdy tires; much of the road is in a bad way), makes a nostalgic alternative to the interstates. Travel literature detailing the small communities and ghost towns on the way is plentiful at roadside information centers or contact the Oklahoma Route 66 Association (tel 405/258-0008,
).
