Great

Always gets me where I need to go. No need for a car (parking is tough).

The Bus System Is Decent

During the weekdays and weekend nights, the campus buses are fairly reliable. However, the tracking system will be very off every once in a while, and buses are hard to get on Saturday and Sunday mornings/afternoons. Citywide transportation is either right on time, or terribly late and unreliable. There isn't really any in-between there. However, housing fees cover the cost of taking all of these buses, and taking the campus buses is free for anyone, which is nice.

Good for Certain Things

The only reason this is a B is because the RTA has such good service for a city of Cleveland's size. Getting downtown, to the airport, or to shopping areas from campus on the bus or train is really easy. Several bus lines and a rail line run through campus. Students get a transit pass for $25 per semester.

The campus bus system is awful. It runs on inconsistent, infrequent schedules. It's usually faster to walk. The loops seem to be all left turns, so the buses get stuck waiting at lights a lot, then the drivers deviate from their routes to make up time. The online tracking system is uselessly inaccurate.

Greyhound in Cleveland is awful. They're always late and the station is run-down with inadequate seating. Megabus is better, but they have limited options and their prices have gone up a lot.
