Butler County Regional Transit Authority, also stylized as BCRTA, is the primary provider of mass transportation in Butler County, Ohio with twelve routes serving the region. As of 2019, the system provided 620,233 rides over 70,789 annual vehicle revenue hours with 18 buses and 17 paratransit vehicles.[1]

History

Public transit in Hamilton began with horsecars in 1875, with Middletown beginning horsecar service in 1879. Horsecars in both cities were replaced with electric streetcars in the 1880s and 1890s, which in turn were replaced by buses in 1918 in Middletown and in 1932 in Hamilton.[2]

The BCRTA will be fare-free through 2024.[3] Service from Middletown to West Chester and Cincinnati has been proposed numerous times in recent years.[4] The service would utilize commuter buses and provide express service to downtown Cincinnati.[5] Previously commuter buses connected Middletown, Monroe and Dayton, where riders could transfer to the Dayton RTA.[6]

Service

Butler County RTA operates 12 regular weekday bus routes centered on Middletown and Oxford. Four routes operate in Middletown, five in Oxford, with three regional services connecting Hamilton, Middletown and Oxford. The R6 Job Connecter provides connections to SORTA in Springdale.[7]

Hours of operation for the system are Monday through Friday from 6:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Service in Middletown is provided from 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. on Saturdays. There is no service on Sundays. Fixed route services are fare-free.[8]
