Getting Around Cleveland

Cleveland's public transport system is currently being improved with the implementation of the Euclid Corridor Transportation Project that includes seven miles of bus lanes on arterial streets. This should be operational by mid-2008. Electric trolley buses serve downtown and buses run to the suburbs. Most sights can be reached on foot or light rail. A car is not necessary downtown, but is more convenient for wider exploration of the city.
