Definitely the way to travel longer distances! While our rail system needs updating, the experience is wonderful! We enjoyed our chef prepared meals on our trip home, there was a nice variety of choices and everything was delicious. But the people were the best!! Big thank you's to Vela, Kat, April, Walter and Jacquelin!! You made all the difference and we won't forget you.

It wasn't the best experience of my life. I am still very tired while writing this. The Floridian line of the Amtrak is, as I now know, always very, very late. As it was scheduled to leave the station at 3am, I woke up very early to get to this station on time. All the services were closed (very unfortunate) and me and dozens of others waited in the bare waiting room on uncomfortable seats for over and hour and a half before finally boarding at 4:30am. At least this station in particular was clean and the waiting room was open and the signage was well lit from the outside. 3 stars for the building and services and 2 stars for Amtrak itself. The staff on the train itself was very professional and good at their jobs so there's that. I wish there was a rule against people talking so dang loud the whole ride as 99% of us were trying to sleep!! Only gonna do this again in the case of last resort... like I had to this time.

A clean train station downtown. Quick and efficient…read more I visited the Tower City train station (Public Square stop) in early September 2024 when I went to a Cleveland Guardians baseball game with a friend. We both started at the West 25th Ave. stop at the West Side Market in Ohio City and it only took 1 stop, less than 4 minutes, to get to Tower City. Once inside Tower City, we walked for about 8 minutes inside the walkway that connects to Progressive Field where the Guardians play. Once the game was over, we found the outside door that leads us back into the inside walkway back to the Tower City stop. The actual train station is nice and clean. There are benches to sit on before you get to the area where the train is. Those benches, located right by where you purchase tickets, are super clean. Once you're in the section where the train arrives, there are benches there too but they looked a bit dirty plus that area is slightly dark. I recommend standing and not sitting while waiting for the train, if you can. My friend and I already bought our 1-day RTA pass at the West 25th station but if you need train tickets, you can buy them at the Tower City stop. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 97/150 total reviews in 2024 - 746 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 29 September 2024

Situated in the heart of downtown Cleveland, Public Square lies at the center of the city's…read morebusiness district and the iconic Terminal Tower. As the central hub of Cleveland's public transit system, Public Square connects commuters to the city's metro lines, including direct service to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and other key destinations. Just steps from Public Square, Cleveland's vibrant downtown offers an array of dining, shopping, entertainment and nightlife options, connecting locals and visitors alike to the heart of the city. The station's striking period architecture stands as a celebrated relic, honoring the city's rich history.

The rating of this transportation system in Cleveland is hard to put into words. It does the job,…read moreit nears infrequent. It is safe, but it has an interesting personality to it. It is cheap, but can easily add up. It is convenient, but also darn near slow. I am happy that a city like Cleveland has options for me to get around without having to depend on rideshares. The Red Line is the way to go to and from the airport from Downtown. It really is. The Blue and Green Waterfront lines bring you to the Rock Hall and towards well, the water. The trains also go to The Flats which made me real happy. Amtrak is also connected into the system. But since the trains run at night, it does not pay to use this system to get to the station. But to go to a Browns game or Indians game, this works real well. Take advantage of the cost and ride it. I guess that is easy enough to put into words.

Yay, the Waterfront line isn't just for Browns games anymore!…read more Riding the Waterfront, you'll find a nice and clean Blue or Green line train that's now going the extra distance to go past the flats, Aloft Hotel, Browns Stadium, The Rock Hall and if you really stretch it, the Galleria. Ending at the Muni lot, it's the perfect Browns transportation. The Settlers Landing station is newer, well maintained and offers ample cover. It's the spot you'll want to get off for all the new construction near Ernst and Young/Aloft Hotel/Ken Stewarts/etc. As this place builds up, this stop is going to be a destination...but alas for now, expect empty trains and strange looks while you wait for your train. BTW, trains come every 15 minutes. (as of June '13)

This is a nice little station along the waterfront (hence, it's on the Waterfront Line!). It's…read morevery aesthetically pleasing.... outdoors, with a glass structure, gives the feeling of airiness and openness, not some pee-soaked dank hole in the ground. Go head, take a walk around or along the water, as you're waiting. You'll see the train coming from some distance. Alas, I was left waiting here for 45 minutes with no trains coming... then I just walked to Tower Center to catch the Red Line to the airport.

Bonus points for a clean and tidy rail station. The Little Italy / University Circle Station is on…read morethe Red Line between Cedar - University and Superior Stations. It's a good ways out to the west from downtown, but the ride is smooth and quiet. The station itself is upstairs (and there's an elevator) and outside, so it's going to be uncomfortable in cold weather but there is cover from the rain/snow. There is a ticket vending machine downstairs but no turnstile. There is a ticket validation machine.

Nice addition to the area and to RTA's network -- this station replaces the E 120th St. Station…read morewhich was poorly located and in disrepair. While the station itself is a vast improvement over the E 120th St Station, the design seems to be mostly about utility with some artistic elements such as decorative exterior lighting and terrazzo floors. There aren't a bevy of amenities (no public restrooms) but there is an elevator for ADA access and ticket vending machines are available. This should help improve access to University Circle and Little Italy and help relieve some of the parking crunch since people will have a great alternative to driving, just in time for the Feast of the Assumption!

Be careful with cash! You have to put in EXACT cash for the tickets, the machines DOES NOT give you change. Oh and of course the machine didn't read any of our credit cards for some reason and all I had was a 20$ bill. Our ride was $4.50 and I put in $20, and NEVER got the change! We called the number the machine gave us and filed a claim. We were told that someone would contact us, NEVER DID. So I'm out almost $16, thanks RTA. All in all, probably never doing that again and I was so excited to try it.
