The agency has evolved into an umbrella organization that has broad transit development, planning, programming, and financing powers. Operations of transit services are performed by a variety of operational units controlled by mtdb in a unified system.This system has been officially called the metropolitan transit system (mts). Made up of six fixed-route bus carriers, one light rail transit (lrt) operator, and four general-purpose dial-a-rides, the mts is characterized by unified fares, transfers, passes, and route numbers.
