The Riverfront Transit Center is a multi-modal transportation center currently used as a local bus and commuter bus hub for TANK and SORTA, in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio near Great American Ballpark and The Banks project. It runs alongside the Fort Washington Way freeway trench. The center was completed in 2003 and has the capacity to handle up to 500 buses and 20,000 people per hour during sporting or other special events.

Contents

Bus services

The center serves as a hub for the SORTA during sporting events and other special events.

Rail service

The center serves as the central hub for the Cincinnati streetcar system, which opened to passengers on September 9, 2016.

Future rail connections

The center is also expected to serve as the central hub for the planned Eastern Corridor Commuter Rail connecting Cincinnati to Milford.

Criticism

The center has been criticised due to the fact that it is largely unused. Proponents point out delays in the streetcar lightrail and commuter rail plans as well as delays in construction of The Banks a multi-use commercial and residential project.
