Many people rely on the
public transportation to get to where they need to go. There are some proposed
changes that have been suggested to the Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky.
Fort Thomas Matters wanted to educate our readers on the changes and provide
you the locations where you can voice your opinion.
In Newport and Campbell
County, they propose that the #25 bus’ route at Village Green Park and Ride to
the south, and in downtown Cincinnati to the North would be terminated. Service
to the Alexandria Park and Ride will be discontinued. Service to Covington and
Ft. Wright Hub will be provided by route 33.
The frequency of the #25 bus will be every 30 minutes during peak-time
and every 60 minutes during off-peak time.
Closer to home, the #20 bus
in South Newport will be eliminated due to low ridership. Routes 12, 16 and 25
will service the area.
There will be a new
cross-county service that will operate along I-275. It will provide a direct
transportation line between Northern Kentucky University and Florence. The new
east west “cross-county” service will have north south connections at NKU, the
Ft. Wright Hub, Dixie Highway, Crestview Town Center and the Florence Hub.
