The Cincinnati Transit Company was the public transit operator in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, from 1952 to 1973. It replaced the Cincinnati Street Railway, which ceased streetcar operations in 1951, and provided bus-only transit in the city. In 1973, the Commission was renamed Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA).
Famous quotes containing the words transit and/or commission:
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
“Children cannot eat rhetoric and they cannot be sheltered by commissions. I don’t want to see another commission that studies the needs of kids. We need to help them.”
—Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
