Operative words

The Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) board voted today during a special meeting to resume fare collection on Metro and Access at the request of the City of Cincinnati, effective Sunday, April 12. This decision was made in the interest of public safety following the concern that free fare may be encouraging non-essential trips and crowding on-board buses.... Riders should continue exiting via the rear door of the bus. Customers are urged to ride Metro for essential trips only.
