Starting on this day, November 15, 1968, you could take rapid transit from downtown Cleveland to the airport.

2. Me too! Living in a close East Side burb, we'd ride "down the hill" to Euclid Ave, then use a transfer.

to access the slurred "rabid transit" from that East Side bus hub extension route at Windermere Station, where there was also some all-day car parking in case you chose to skip the bus, to the Terminal Tower and, eventually, beyond to the West Side airport in Brookpark. Think I did that at least a couple times just to look out the windows of the newly opened tracks, try out the new "people mover" conveyors at the airport, then ride back. I was all grown up before my first airline flight. Could also access the "rabid transit" by suburban connecting bus line(s) via the University Circle stop. Private Trailways also ran a commuter bus line into downtown Cleveland in the morning and back at the end of the work day that bypassed the RTA rail service via Euclid Ave/Mentor Ave (Rt. 2/20) into Lake County back in the day.
