Cleveland: Thousands turn to RTA due to gas prices
6:46 PM, May 10, 2011
CLEVELAND -- High gas prices have thousands of Northeast Ohioans leaving their cars at home and taking the bus or the train.
The Greater Cleveland RTA reports ridership up at least 5 percent recently. And those figures were calculated before gasoline hit $4 per gallon.
"We are now averaging between 165,000 and 170,000 individual riders per day," says RTA's Mary McCahon. She said the numbers should continue to grow as the price of gasoline stays at or near present levels.
