Transit App, EZAlerts & Printed Schedules

The Cincinnati Metro Bus Service uses “The Transit App,” which allows riders to plan trips, track buses in real time, and pay fares using the Tap&Save fare capping system, guaranteeing you never pay more than $4.40 per day on local routes. You can also sign up for Cincy EZAlerts for detour and service alerts tailored specifically to your routes. Complete schedule and fare information is available on the Metro website. For on-demand trips, use the MetroNow! app to book and manage your ride.
