I am writing a review of RTA based on a tourist standpoint as we spent a Weekend in Cleveland.
Since it was a last minute trip and by the time I ready to book our hotel, everything downtown either all booked up or cost a fortune!! But with RTA Red Line Service, we able to stay just across the street from Airport Station and Puritas - West 150th Station and able to take the train directly to Tower City.
$5 for a Day Pass is quite a good bargain.
And of course once downtown, I can get on those Green Trolleys or catch a bus.
Sadly, Waterfront Blue/Green line was doing some track work during my stay and wish there was more signage down Public Square Station as tourists like me do get confused easily.
I had a lot of fun during Cleveland Beer Week 2015 and also catching a Cavailers game without worry about parking or drink and drive, all because of RTA.
But if you going to party till the wee hours, then this might not be a good option.
