TANK Transit Upgrades Starting Fall | Lexington News

Northern Kentucky’s public transit is getting a major upgrade this fall—starting November 7th—with TANK rolling out faster, more frequent, and more connected service. Route One now extends to Newport’s St. Elizabeth Healthcare, while Routes Three, Seven, and Twelve double to every 30 minutes during peak hours. The old Southbank Shuttle and Route Sixteen are replaced by a new high-frequency corridor linking downtown Newport, Covington, and Cincinnati—with buses running as often as every 7-8 minutes in key zones. The TANK Plus zone expands to include Alexandria Walmart and Village Green, with a six-mile cap for efficiency. Routes are being re-paired for smoother transfers: Three & Twelve, Seven & Twenty-Five, Five & Eight—and Route One runs solo. All changes stem from community input gathered in 2025, aiming to build a reliable, future-ready transit system. Public meetings in September will answer your questions.
