Service began in 1972, with the fleet consisting of 26 buses serving the city of Flint with 12 routes and hourly service. Current MTA fleet vehicles span from 1985 to 2016. The total MTA fleet includes 283 in service vehicles with two hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, 143 Propane vehicles, and 29 Hybrid Diesel or Gasoline/Electric. Fourteen standard, all-day routes are provided within the city of Flint and its inner suburbs, as well as nine peak hour services (which feature different numbers for each variation of the route). Several regional routes are also operated using coach-style buses, providing all day commuter bus service to Oakland, Livingston, Lapeer and Saginaw counties. The MTA also operates Your Ride, a mini-bus service for special needs customers, and peak route services. In 2015, it partnered with Genesys Health System's Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) to provide transportation services for eligible citizens. It also owns the inter-modal Flint station, which serves Amtrak, Greyhound Lines, and Indian Trails. - Source: Wikipedia
