Sunday saw another test for Cincinnati’s new streetcar -- a sold out Bengals game at Paul Brown Stadium. Some football fans are giving it a failing grade. Chances are if you tried to ride the streetcar Sunday, you had to wait in a long line both before and after the Bengals game. It was standing room only on the Cincinnati Bell Connector. Tweets from fans show just how packed the streetcar was as Bengals fans made their way to and from The Banks. “There were a lot of people who wanted to get on the streetcar and they just didn't have the service. There weren't enough streetcars out running, so that definitely needs to be looked at,” councilmember Amy Murray said. The city encouraged people to ride the streetcar and offered a parking deal partnered with streetcar tickets at the Town Center Garage in Over-the-Rhine. Typically, two streetcars run on the weekend, even with a big event downtown.Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority officials say a third streetcar was added to the tracks around 1:30 p.m. after seeing a backlog of riders. “It's to our advantage to make the streetcar available to encourage people to use it. We don't have our act together and we have to,” said Vice Mayor David Mann. David Mann drafted the motion for the city’s transportation committee that would allow SORTA to flex streetcar service as needed during projected high ridership times. “The thing that concerns me with that motion though is that it doesn't say who's paying for it. I think what we need to do is adjust the hours,” said Murray. The motion suggests the city’s contingency fund would cover negative balances for now, and keep riders moving while the kinks are worked out. “It's up to us and to SORTA to make sure that those who want to ride are able to ride at the time that they need transportation. That's the whole point,” said Mann. The next home game for the Bengals is Thursday night, so the streetcar should be running every 15 minutes. The transportation committee will meet Tuesday to talk about this issue. The motion already has the support of several City Council members. SORTA is working to tally up how many people rode the streetcar Sunday, and should have those figures in the next day or two. Whoa! Look at all those @Bengals fans queuing for @CB_Connector! #CBconnector@CincyStreetcarpic.twitter.com/lr7oAc4i9a— Paige (@Paigetastic01) September 25, 2016
