CINCINNATI â Metro buses will no longer specifically provide direct service for Cincinnati Public Schools, meaning students will no longer ride student-specific buses â theyâll be traveling with other bus passengers of all kinds.
The change was announced at Tuesdayâs Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority meeting. This solution avoids having to reduce or delay service that was promised to Hamilton County,â a SORTA spokesperson wrote in a Wednesday statement. âIt provides more options for student riders and our broader community, while boosting service reliability.
Metro buses will no longer specifically provide direct service for students in Cincinnati public high schools.
Officials announced the change to a bus pass system for Cincinnati Public Schools students in grades 7-12 at Tuesday s Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority meeting.
The change means students will no longer ride vehicles filled with only students.
The negotiations with CPS leadership happened over the past six weeks, said Darryl Haley, CEO and general manager for Metro.
Haley said discussions about services for students with CPS have been ongoing for longer. He said transit agencies in Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton all operate under similar pass systems for public schools.
