    Not the best, but Cleveland is so lucky to have it. Many other North American cities would kill for such a system.

    I’m seeing how Cleveland has changed in 12 years since I left . In that time I came back and stayed as my mother was in the neurological ICU at the Cleveland clinic. It’s hard losing my family and only a few cousins left that are are distant from me. But watching all this brings me back . It’s bittersweet with tears Thank you !

    I haven't been in tower city in a few years. Glad it's gotten fixed and remodeled. It was a such a mess a few years back. Great video

    You must have a very good job that allows you to fly to different places in the country and also, affords you the opportunity to show points of interest in each city. I'm glad to see that the Rapid is still running and has made some improvements.

      Wow, I’ve never seen the entryway from the train into the airport. Very nice.

    I am still proud that the city I grew up in was the first to provide a train to the airport. Thanks for the video Polo Traveler.

    Tower City is still probably one of the best metro stations in America, They don't even have anything close to that in Chicago which is suprising

    This is a bit late of a comment, but I just now got the opportunity to finish the video but the 49 bus route no longer exists, 26 just continues down Center Ridge to Crocker Park after Westgate, 26A goes via Detroit Rd to Crocker park after Westgate.

      Be aware! I think that a construction process is currently going on at Tower City, so you may have to board in a completely different spot.

    My dad and I used to use the Rapid quite a bit to get to Indians or hockey games. (Whatever minor league Cleveland team exists at the time we've had a few). We'd get on at Brook Park and get off at Tower City. was cheaper than paying for parking downtown.

    I am new to this site. I did not know Cleveland was the first city in the Western Hemisphere to have a direct rail line to the airport. NYC has good transit to two airports but not direct. Philadelphia where I live, does have a direct rail link to the airport, directly from downtown.

    • @PokoTraveler
      @PokoTraveler  Год назад +1

      I take RTA's word for it that it is true (Cleveland being the first), but when I Google it, no national sites or history books really mention who the first was.
      This article by the Plain Dealer discusses the history of the proclamation and construction of it: www.cleveland.com/news/erry-2018/11/fccebd53c921/rtas-worldfirst-public-airport.html

      YEAH @@PokoTraveler ,IT WAS 1969,I REMEMBER IT WELL 'CAUSE RTA DIDN'T CAPITALIZE ON IT BY EXPANDIN' THE SYSTEM EVEN FURTHER WITH LINES RUNNIN' NORTH & SOUTH THRU OUT THE CITY...MISSED OPPURTUNITY IF YOU ASK ME! NOW CLEVELAND IS ABOUT TO BECOME THE FIRST CITY TO DOWNGRADE IT'S HEAVY RAIL TO LIGHT RAIL!! ONLY IN CLEVELAND!! I THINK THIS IS THE BEGINNIN' OF RAIL BEIN' DISMANTLED TOTALLY IN CLEVELAND IN 20 YEARS!! AGAIN....ONLY IN CLEVELAND!

      I was thinking that most big cities probably had it by now, but when I recently researched Pittsburgh and Indianapolis (I haven't been to either), I was surprised that neither had a subway or train from the airport; just a regular ol' bus.

    • @SovietWinnieThePoo
      @SovietWinnieThePoo 11 месяцев назад +1

      @@PokoTraveler It’s odd because Pittsburgh does have a light rail system, I just don’t think it connects to the airport. I have read that Columbus is now the biggest city in America without some sort of passenger rail system.

      OKAY WINNIETHEPOO,DON'T GET STARTED ON CBUS...IT'S ONLY BIGGER 'CAUSE CLEVELAND & CINCY DON'T ANNEX ANYTHING! AND IF CINCI HAD FINISHED THEIR SUBWAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BIGGER THAN CBUS & CLEVELAND MOST LIKELY! CBUS IS A JOHNNY COME LATELY....MAYBE WHEN IT GROWS UP;IT MIGHT BE DENSE ENOUGH FOR RAIL!!

      I've also had a little footage of it during some of my previous Downtown Cleveland Christmas videos.
