Back in the Queen City Metro era, our commuter express routes were known as “Sun Run” routes — operating just a few times in the mornings and evenings to help riders catch the sunrise and sunset across Cincinnati.
Fast forward to today: Metro now offers 7 routes with 24/7 service, 9 cross-town routes, and 48 different options to help you get wherever you need to go in Hamilton County.
From Sun Runs to round-the-clock service — we’ve come a long way, and we’re still moving the city forward.
