Metro had an amazing time celebrating Pride with our community at the Cincinnati Pride Parade this year! We loved helping spread the love through downtown alongside our mini-bus Evie. A huge thank you to all our Metro team members who who showed up to represent Metro and a special thanks to @cincinnatipride for bringing everyone together!
We had a blast and look forward to doing it again next year!

Getting Started with Tap&Save!
Starting July 16, you no longer need to buy daily or monthly passes in advance. Just load funds onto your Transit app or EZfare smart card, tap or scan when you board, and go.
The system automatically deducts the lowest possible fare and tracks your spending, so you’ll never pay more than:
• Local Routes: $4.40 per day $88 a month for local routes
• Express Routes: $6.00 a day or $120 a month.
Traditional digital passes will no longer be available for purchase. If you already have a pass in EZFare, it will remain valid for 180 days from the date of purchase.
Paper passes will still be available online and at Metro’s Sales Office, and cash payments will continue to be accepted onboard.
