How many people ride the subway/light rail in Cleveland? How fast do the cars move and is it better than riding your car?

[Nabinut]

the ridership is pretty steady.

The car I rode was running behind 50-55 mph in some sections.

And it's okay but I'm used to riding our 25 year old cars.

we usually take the rapid when we go to ballgames. leaving the car at 117 / Madison and paying for the ride is cheaper than parking and traffic in my opinion. Plus its more fun

@hexpress53 ridership is about 29,000 which is somewhat poor for a system of this size and city, but nevertheless this system is useful

I like those whistles they put on them! Cleveland's RTA trains are neat to ride!

numbers 60 cars total. 20 double cab cars #181 to 200, and 40 single cab cars #301 to 340.

yeah. it is very useful. ridership depends on the time of day or if it is after games.

Since Cleveland RTA runs the Shaker rapid and Windermere rapid most people

here in Cleveland do know that we have light-rail and heavy- rail transit,in the transit

industry most heavy rail car are considered as subway cars thats the term most rail car builders use a code

for the industry.
