Cincinnati Schools Switch to Metro Buses | Cincinnati News

Cincinnati Public Schools is ditching yellow buses for seventh and eighth graders, swapping them out for free Metro rides — a move that saves cash and taps into families already preferring Metro’s flexibility. Students in grades 7–12 now get daily weekday passes for morning and afternoon commutes, with special evening passes for after-school events. Metro’s upgraded service includes more routes, frequent buses, Wi-Fi, charging ports, and a real-time tracking app to ease the transition. Schools and transit hubs will have staff on hand during orientation and the first few days of school, plus helpful videos and expert tips: arrive early, ride with a friend, have your pass ready, be considerate, hold on, signal your stop, check your stuff before exiting, and always wait for the bus to leave before crossing — using crosswalks and obeying signals.
