COLUMBUS, Ohio — Trains running on Ohio's planned passenger rail project are capable of completing the entire Cleveland-to-Cincinnati route in just over 5 hours, about 90 minutes faster than a previous estimate, state transportation officials said Friday.
The new schedule is based on a more detailed computer analysis of train performance on the 255-mile route and would make the service more competitive with driving, said Scott Varner, an Ohio Department of Transportation spokesman.
The faster schedule also has potential to increase ridership, which was previously estimated at 478,000 a year, but no new estimates have been completed.
