Initiatives
Benches
Despite providing millions of bus rides each year (13.8 million in 2018), Cincinnati’s bus system is severely lacking in basic infrastructure.
We believe bus riders deserve a place to sit. Thanks to generous donations of time and money, we have built benches to place at the busiest stops.
Beginning in the winter of 2018, the Better Bus Coalition successfully advocated for a bus-only lane on Main St in downtown Cincinnati. The approximately four-block stretch (between 6th St and Court St) was implemented in early November 2018. We are in the process of identifying and advocating for more bus-only lanes throughout the city.
With buses carrying up to 40+ passengers at a time, prioritizing bus travel during rush hour is the most efficient way to move people in Cincinnati. Learn more about the Main St bus-only lane here.
