Red Line (Cleveland)

Red Line Information

Cleveland’s Red Line Metro (Route 66) runs from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in the northeast to Louis Stoke Station in the East Cleveland neighbourhood of Windermere. The network serves many popular destinations along the route, including Little Italy, University Circle, Downtown Cleveland, Ohio City and West Park.

This rapid transit system, which connects Cleveland’s airport to the city’s central districts, is easily accessible from the lower levels of the airport terminal (one level below the baggage claim area, to be exact). If you walk past baggage claim number six, you will find an escalator leading downstairs, with an elevator on the opposite side. If you prefer to take the stairs, go past the Welcome Desk and you will find a staircase leading down. Once on the lower level, finding the station is not a problem as there is a well-marked sign saying “Trains to Downtown”. There are a number of ticket machines at the entrance to the station where you can buy your single, multiple or even day tickets before boarding the train to your destination. The station carries 26,500 passengers a day.
