Office of Aging usually has Senior bussing for a small fee. Redcross used to have volunteer drivers. If you r on Medicaid for health insurance, they provide rides.
It’s actually state specific as whether or not the office of aging provides transportation. In Oklahoma where OP lives (and california and Nevada) they don’t have buses, they don’t provide transportation but they provide bus passes and information on the transportation services available through local non-profits and transportation companies.
Check with the transportation authority in your own town. Absent that call any Senior Centers to ask how you can find accessible transit. I was amazed when I did the research in Palm Springs to find what good transit, even for wheel chair and someone accompanying was available FREE. Good luck in your own area.
In Oklahoma City, I expect there would be a public transit system. In my area, and other metropolitan areas, transit systems that provide for service often have a division of direct service, small bus service, or something similar. These alternates use smaller buses, often equipped with wheelchair lifts, but also with regular seats.
Routes aren't established; they're point to point: your house to your destination. Rates are reasonable: $1 or $2 pre ride.
Locate your OK city transit agency and contact them. That's the best resource I know of for reasonable point to point transit.
