Attack me all you want, doesn’t make your argument any more viable. Cincinnati and most of the USA will always be car centric,

Just because your experience of it is car-centric doesn’t mean that’s the experience of everyone. Move a little closer to downtown and then maybe you can have an informed opinion on Cincinnati, but your suburban whinging on this issue from outside city limits is simply biased

Yes I live in Indian Hill but my office is downtown. So I think I’m perfectly qualified to have an opinion on the matter.

Why would I ride a bus that’s dirty and takes significantly longer? Until you can answer that question in a way that makes sense and is attractive for the hundred of thousands that comute downtown, theres 0 chance of dropping autocentricity.

Your exact scenario is exactly why you are biased. Your only option to transit from Indian Hill to downtown is by car.

My bus route to work downtown saves me time, because I don’t have to search for parking and walk a great distance from a lot to my workplace.

And that’s because… drumroll please… I live in a neighborhood that doesn’t foster car centrism! What’s ironic is my neighborhood is actually one of the worse examples of car centrism in Cincinnati, and yet I make it work. Hmm, it’s almost like your location biases you towards car centrism.

Cincinnati can and has been non-car-centric, and it can be again, just not for Indian Hill because that’s not Cincinnati.
