Talk:RTA Rapid Transit

Untitled

I don't know Cleveland, but just by guessing should this not be "it was the first direct rail-to-mass transit link to an airportin North America." ??? AlainV 20:30, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

• Eeps, you're right! I fixed it. --Jfruh 02:13, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

rolling stock?

what does it use -- Geo Swan 11:47, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Route Mileage

The route mileage for the RTA rail system listed as 17 miles, is wrong. Route mileage for the total rapid transit system is actually about 32 miles. (check the international rapid transit data website for this as well as RTA's own website) 151.197.39.235 09:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Disagree with the name change

While the I admit that "RTA Rapid Transit" is redundant, the new title is misleading. "Rapid Transit Authority" is the name of the agency that runs transit in Cleveland, including buses. "Rapid Transit" is the specific brand name the RTA uses for the system comprising the Red, Blue, and Green rail lines. It's not our fault that the Cleveland transit names things redundantly, but as it stands now the new title implies that this article is about the agency that runs Cleveland transit, when in fact it's specifically about the rail lines. --Jfruh (talk) 15:08, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

In fact, I just realized that even the argument for redundancy is false -- RTA stands for Regional (not Rapid) Transit Authority. --Jfruh (talk) 01:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay, perhaps the name change wasn't the best idea. Thanks for speaking up about it. -- backburner001 15:35, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Map Problems: West 65th-Madison (Eco-Village)

Just an FYI the current route map is missing the West 65th-Madison (Eco-Village) stop. The map must be from a year or two ago when the station was closed for renovations. Just thought you would like to know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.232.162.33 (talk • contribs) .

Yes, you beat me to the punch about that map: I don't care for it, anyway, and the W. 65th station is missing (it should be where the West Blvd-Cudell stop is listed), which throws everything to the left/west of it out of balance. Can somebody fix (or junk) it? 141.151.23.197 02:27, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Subway

Is this a partly subway system or is it all aboveground? Should be in article either way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.224.206.168 (talk) 18:12, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

• The only places where it goes underground is at Tower City (Downtown) and Cleveland Hopkins Airport. Calling it a subway is quite a stretch.Hx823 (talk) 04:06, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

History

Can anyone fill in the history about why this was converted from inter-urban (historic LRT) to heavy rail? The Red line is the only heavy rail to open between 1930 and 1972. <http://www.riderta.com/history> is not very informative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theblindsage (talk • contribs) 20:45, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

GCRTA History Section?

Case Western Reserve has historical overviews of Cleveland history, including information on the early urban transportation systems before GCRTA was established. Would it be fruitful to put a "History" section on this page? We have the 1913 - Present gif and the CWRU resources I have found would provide enough information for a history section of Cleveland transit before GCRTA and to its founding in 1974.

The history section is present at Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority. Cards84664 14:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
