Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority (BJCTA) is the public transportation operator in the city of Birmingham, Alabama. Created in 1972 to take over transit operations from private operators, it operates 109 buses on 38 routes. It also operates paratransit services, as well as micro transit services.[4] In 2023, the system had 1,792,000 rides, or about 7,100 per weekday as of the fourth quarter of 2023.
Alabama does not provide state support for public transit, and so the funding for and service provided by BJCTA is less than other cities of equivalent size.[3] This contributes to Alabama's status as the state with the highest per capita gasoline consumption.[3]
