This Sunday, the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority will begin 24/7 Metro service on seven of its major routes. The union president doesn t think there are enough drivers to make it a reality. The bus company disagrees.
This new 24/7 Metro service is a part of the first phase of its Reinventing Metro plan. This was made possible with the passing of Issue 7 last spring. The additional 0.8% Hamilton County sales tax should provide about $100 million a year for the bus system plus another $30 million a year for road and bridge projects throughout the county.
Troy L. Miller, president and business agent of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 627, expressed his doubts about Metro s new venture.
