Metro adds two new bus routes
servicing Blue Ash
Two new Metro bus routes will service Blue Ash starting on December 4. Plus, an Uber-like MetroNow! service will roll out in the City late next year.

The new routes, 67 and 5, are a part of the Reinventing Metro plan.

Route 67 is an east-west route running from the Montgomery Road Meijer Park & Ride location to the Forest Park Park & Ride, generally along Kemper Road. The route will stop in Blue Ash near Reed Hartman Highway and Cornell Road with stops along Cornell Park Drive.

Route 5 is a north-south crosstown route running from the Oakley Transit Center to the Sharonville Kroger. The route travels Plainfield Road, Reed Hartman Highway, and Cornell Road in Blue Ash with major stops at Oakley Station Shopping Center, the Kenwood Towne Centre, UC Blue Ash, Summit Park, and Downtown Sharonville.

Both routes will operate seven days a week approximately every 30-35 minutes. Read more.
