Mostly Cincinnati transit policy, sometimes other stuff. [email protected]

If you had to press a button that said “I will pay $1.179 to cover the cost of my trip” before every time you drove your car. Rush hour wouldn’t exist.

Tested out the new Metro*Now service in Blue Ash while visiting my father. 3 minute pick up time for $2.50. Way better price and service than Uber/Lyft. Unfortunately the service cannot scale and is doomed to be have low productivity (see red bar below) & high costs per rider.

The most popular Halloween candy in Ohio is not a Mars bar. I don’t even know if they even carry Mars bars at most stores. Everyone knows the most popular Halloween candy in Ohio is a Zagnut bar.

I wonder if this sign originally said “Village of Norwood” alternatively it may have said “Ctiy of Norwood”

These kiosks are much better when they display transit options instead of ads.

It’s great the federal government is funding these new routes to better connect Ohio.

If you live in Anderson Township vote for my friend Tom Hodges. Ive known Tom for years. In the very early stages of forming @BetterBusCo he provided insight and guidance. He is a lawyer, volunteer and overall great guy who would make a fantastic Trustee

You could reverse the RTC & enter at the pink arrows, but every route still has to go through downtown to get there. TANK could easily use the RTC as the bridges from NKY have easy access, but this would make transfers with Metro more difficult & require a streetcar connection.

This map illustrates why Metro doesn't use the Riverfront Transit Center for its main hub. The top 10 routes (higher ridership routes are wider) enter downtown mostly from the north and east. The only way to access the RTC is the red arrows in the SW corner of downtown.
@Signal99Cinci I have a safety question... Why isn't the Riverfront Transit Center used as intended? Metro was supposed to move from Government Square to their newest digs, but they never moved there. Getting the high school kids out of the downtown area seems like a no brainer to me.

One of the three proposed system redesigns for TANK relies heavily on demand-response TANK+ service. This change would be a mistake. Demand response service has extremely high costs per rider, low productivity, and cannot scale. Full plans are here- https://t.co/SQiRinu3OR

Congratulations to Kansas City's streetcar expansion! Since the beginning, KC has supported its streetcar and chosen to succeed. Cincinnati can learn a lot from them by implementing low-cost, high-impact best practices, namely transit-only lanes and signal optimization.
KC Streetcar Mainstreet extension opens today!! Extending the line 8 new stations. Hopefully the city keeps expanding!!

Great to see that people who came out to Metro's BRT open houses expressed support for transit-only lanes on Walnut, the single most cost-effective way we can boost transit in our region. The first mile of BRT constructed should be the Walnut Street transit, only lane.

If you look at the current and planned bicycle facilities network for the basin, it's abundantly clear that we need a bi-directional cycletrack on Elm to connect everything together.

The if members of the “Wyoming for a Strong Cincinnati” Committee really wanted to strengthen the City, they should advocate for the annexation of Wyoming into Cincinnati. It will grow the tax base & increase our population. We’re stronger together.
Excited to support @corymbowman for Mayor! Join us for a fundraiser to help elect a leader who will deliver real results for Cincinnati. 💪

Cincinnati neighborhoods most demographically representative of the city as a whole.
