I often go to D.C for vacation and take the metro, and it is great,clean, and safe. I wondered if anybody could tell me what Clevelands is like.

Cleveland RTA: Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority

It's not exactly a "subway"....it more of a "light rail" service that gets you from the suburbs in to downtown.

Mind you, our downtown is not large...it's completely walkable...there are also trolleys and buses that run throughout downtown that will get you wherever you need to go.

RTA's website DOES have a trip planner on it, so you can plug in where you want to go and from where and it will tell you exactly what bus/rapid/rail to take.

This is the 3rd time I posted this lol:

The RTA in Cleveland was named "North Americas Best Public Transportation System" in 2007: Newsroom - News & Updates | Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority

We have 1 rapid line (Red Line), and 2 light rail lines (Blue and Green Lines): They reach most areas of the East and West sides of the city. All 3 of them go downtown and the rapid also goes directly to the airport. The other 2 lines also go through some Eastside suburbs, and the rapid also goes through East Cleveland. We are also getting another light rail line (Silver Line) that will go straight through Euclid Ave. from downtown to University Circle: Google Image Result for http://www.urbanrail.net/am/clev/cleveland-map.gif
