 April 10 & 24, 2016: Several timetables change for bus and rail service

Apr 7, 2016

CLEVELAND -- Because of track upgrade work, timetables for service on the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) change twice this month.

April 10

A new timetable for the Blue and Green lines, and a temporary Red Line timetable, take effect.

April 24

As part of the spring quarterly service change, these timetables will change:

  • BRT: The Cleveland State Line.
  • RAIL: Red Line.
  • BUS: 1, 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 28-28A, 30, 35, 37, 38, 45, 48-48A, 49, 51, 53F, 68, 75, 77F, 78, 79A-B, 81, 83, 86, 135, 246 and 251.

To better coordinate and communicate the service that operates in the West 25th Corridor, RTA is merging routes 20, 35 and 51 into one route: 51-A-B-C West 25.

  • The 51 will operate to/from Strongsville.
  • The 51A will operate to/from the Parma Transit Center and replace the 20.
  • The 51B will operate to/from Broadview Heights and the 51C will operate to/from Garfield Commons. These two branches will replace the 35.
  • All trips will use the Detroit-Superior Bridge.

Two other routes have major changes.

  • The 21 will be discontinued. Customers can use the realigned 45.
  • The 53F becomes the new number for the 135, with a new Downtown alignment.
