Notably
- increase of 10% in fares
- there will be fare capping- ie. using the EZFare app or new EZfare card you can tap and go and it will charge you the least amount
For example, if a rider uses the app or the card and rides a bus three times in a day, they will be charged $4.40 for the day pass, instead of $6.60 for three separate rides.
- Children under 55 inches tall will ride free (there will be a marker as you step on the bus)

Adding this here- I did not see the bit about UC and Cincy State students for instance-
Other Cincinnati Metro fare increases:
- Express routes will go from $2.65 to $3.
- On-demand MetroNow fares will go from $2 to $2.50.
- Access service for the disabled will go from $4 to $4.40.
- A 24-hour pass will increase from $4 to $4.40, with a day pass good on Metro and TANK remaining the same at $5. A 30-day pass will go from $80 to $88.
- University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati State students, who currently can ride for free, will have to pay $1.10 per ride.
Kinda crappy of them to market free transit to UC students as aggressively as they have recently, only for them to reverse course
I kind of wonder how that all worked anyhow. Was that Metro doing that or was UC paying them a certain amount to give free rides?
