| As Clevelanders rode public transportation in and
around the city throughout the 20th century, they rode in vehicles
that changed with Cleveland and with the times. Cleveland Transit
Through the Years traces the development of Cleveland’s public
transit during the dynamic past century.
With over 40 photos, the photographic essay takes readers back to the pre-World
War II era when public transit reigned supreme in Cleveland’s bustling city and
neighborhoods. During that time, the city’s thoroughfares witnessed hundreds of
streetcars, double-decker and standard buses, and trackless trolleys around
town. The book also takes readers to the close of the 20th century, when public
transportation took the form of buses and rapid transit.
