Healthline Cleveland

[tomb...@city-net.com]

In todays Pittsburgh paper an article mentions the Healthline in
Cleveland, and what a success it is. I was wondering if anyone has had
experience riding it. It would seem as if the redline would be faster
to University Circle. I have ridden the RTA a number of places in
Cleveland. It sounds as if the 38 Geary in San Francisco would be an
ideal candidate for such a route, if it works as well as the newspaper
article implies.

Thanks

It's a bus you board on the left side. I've found it nothing
more than than, once the hype is gone.

The Red Line might be faster, depending on where at UC you're
headed, where you start from and the weather.

{It's tagged "Healthline" because it ties Public Square,
Cleveland Clinic, & University Hospitals together.}

ahh, the projected rebirth of Cleveland

bus rapid transit comes to mistake by the lake, previously the
Greatest Location in the Nation

over all the years they always talked about a joining of CSU, the
Cleveland Clinic, and University Circle/Univ Hosps

this supposedly does just that

initially it was proposed as light rail as a means of eliminating the
rapid stations between E 55 and Univ Circle which no one dares use.

now it basically supplants the #6 and 6A bus routes which are the
heaviest in the RTA

as an aside, I grew up in Cleveland, the last election I voted in, in
Cleveland was the creation of the RTA from the old CTS and some
municipal lines inc the Shaker Rapid.

I have not been back in years
