Transport: Cleveland's public transport system is currently being improved
with the implementation of the Euclid Corridor Transportation
Project that includes seven miles (11km) 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. To hire a
car, drivers must be 21 years old (some require a 25-year minimum),
and must have a valid driver's license and sometimes an
international driving permit as well. A passport is required for
non-US residents. Taxis are expensive and usually take a while once
summoned.
