Cincinnati Connector Streetcar

Cincinnati Bell Connector logo.png
The Queen City at one time had a large streetcar and Interurban network. But as with most US cities, they system was converted to buses, and the car reigns supreme.

In 2016, streetcars returned with the Bell Connector. The small system has been a political football before opening as well as afterwards. The system serves downtown but stops short of the popular Uptown district.

I visited the city before it opened, so these photos are before operations.
