Cincinnati Transport:

On the Cincinnati side, use the Cincinnati Bell Connector, also known as the streetcar.

The routes for TANK and The Cincinnati Connector overlap in the area of The Banks on the Cincinnati side near the Ohio River. TANK also goes into Newport, which is East of Covington on the Kentucky side.

Due to the 4th Street bridge construction, the direct route from Covington to Newport is closed. To get to Newport, TANK runs through Cincinnati to cross into Newport, and back through Cinci again to get to Covington. There are some attractions in Newport our guests may be interested in, but don’t be alarmed when the shuttle takes you into Cincinnati first due to this bridge closure.

The Southbank Shuttle is free using your ALCON badge and takes you on the Covington / Cincinnati / Newport loop. If you need to use the Northern Kentucky bus system for any reason to get to a custom destination, we recommend you download the TRANSIT app from the app store, as the bus fares are not free.
