Riverfront Transit Center
The Riverfront Transit Center is a rarely used multi-modal transportation center currently used as a local bus and commuter bus hub for TANK and SORTA during special events, in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, near Great American Ballpark and The Banks project. It runs alongside the Fort Washington Way freeway trench. The center was completed in 2003 and has the capacity to handle up to 500 buses and 20,000 people per hour, for use during sporting or other special events.
Bus services
The center serves as a hub for SORTA during sporting events and other special events. Since 2020 it has typically only used once a year, for BLINK, when Government Square is closed off, if used at all.
Parking
The center is also used for charter bus parking during Reds and Bengals games, as well as commuter parking.
Future rail connections
The center is also expected to serve as the central hub for the planned Eastern Corridor Commuter Rail connecting Cincinnati to Milford. Promisingly, a rail connection of favorable geometry could be easily made due to the Center's location and position, between the Cincinnati Terminal Subdivision and the Oasis Subdivision.
Criticism
The center has been criticised due to the fact that it is rarely used. Due to this, many have given it the moniker of "Cincinnati's Other Abandoned Subway", alongside the Cincinnati Subway.
