TRAVEL FEATURE

Map Out Public Transportation!

Cuyahoga County

PublicRoutes.com

How best to use public transportation to get you where you want to go. You put in a starting and stopping point and it gives you not only the bus info, but walking directions (including mileage!) to and from the bus stops. You can enter addresses or Points of Interest. Try it! (choose Cleveland from the State/Area dropdown)

Travel Guides

When choosing a travel guide there are some things to look for. Pick a guide that applies to your wants & needs. Go for more specific information---the greater the area covered by the book, the more superficial the coverage. Don't choose anything more than a year old if you have a choice. If possible, choose the 3rd or 4th edition because the author will have had more time in & a greater range of or more in depth experiences in the place.
