Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky
Encyclopedia
The Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (TANK) is the public transit system serving the Northern Kentucky
suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio
located in Kenton County
, Boone County
and Campbell County
. TANK was founded in 1973 when the privately-funded Greenline Bus Company ceased operation, and voters in the three counties elected to publicly fund the transit system.
Currently TANK operates a fleet of 100 fixed route buses and 25 demand response vehicles.

However, TANK routes go no further than Downtown Cincinnati, requiring any riders from Kentucky who wish to travel to destinations beyond Downtown Cincinnati to utilize the buses of the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority
