==Transportation== Twin Falls is the largest city in Idaho that is not directly on the [[Interstate Highway System]]; it is served by several major highways, including [[U.S. Route 30]] and [[U.S. Route 93 in Idaho|U.S. Route 93]]. Access to nearby [[Interstate 84 in Idaho|Interstate 84]] is across the [[Snake River Canyon (Idaho)|canyon]] via the [[Perrine Bridge]] (U.S. 93); the junction is about {{convert|5|mi|0|abbr=on}} north, in Jerome County. [[Idaho State Highway 74|State Highway 74]] provides direct access from downtown Twin Falls to southbound locations on U.S. 93, including [[Hollister, Idaho|Hollister]] and [[Rogerson, Idaho|Rogerson]], then crosses into [[Nevada]] at [[Jackpot, Nevada|Jackpot]] and continues to a junction with [[Interstate 80 in Nevada|Interstate 80]] at [[Wells, Nevada|Wells]]. Limited commercial air service is provided at [[Magic Valley Regional Airport]], also known as Joslin Field. As of August 2017, daily flights to [[Salt Lake City International Airport|Salt Lake City]] are available from [[Delta Connection]] (fulfilled by [[SkyWest Airlines]]) using the [[Bombardier CRJ200|Canadair CRJ200]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.delta.com/content/dam/delta-www/pdfs/flight_schedules.pdf |title=Worldwide Timetable |pages=1458β1459 |website=delta.com |date=August 1, 2017 |access-date=August 12, 2017}}</ref> Twice-weekly service to [[McCarran International Airport|Las Vegas]] was previously operated by [[Allegiant Air]], but the airline discontinued the route in January 2012, citing insufficient ticket prices.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://magicvalley.com/news/local/allegiant-to-terminate-service-at-twin-falls-airport/article_56a52098-1d1e-11e1-a7bf-001871e3ce6c.html |title=Allegiant to Terminate Service at Twin Falls Airport |first=Ben |last=Botkin |newspaper=[[Times-News (Idaho)|Times-News]] |location=Twin Falls, Idaho |date=December 2, 2011 |access-date=January 17, 2012}}</ref> When Twin Falls surpassed a population of 50,000, it became federally required to provide a public transportation system for its citizens. (Read [[Metropolitan planning organization]] for more information.) On July 1, 2023, the city of Twin Falls launched a [[microtransit]] system known as Ride TFT (Twin Falls Transit).<ref>[https://ridetft.com/ Ride TFT (Twin Falls Transit)]</ref> It was initially launched as a pilot program and was to run for two years. However, in late January 2024, it was found to have quickly become a success in the community. While officials expected around 2,000 riders per month. In its first month, it had a ridership of 3,200. It has consistently gone up since, nearly tripling initial projections during the month of December 2023.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> Typical fare is $3.00 a ride within the city of Twin Falls boundary.<ref name=":2" />
