"As part of the Euclid Corridor project, more than $80 million in federal transportation money will flow into Cleveland for a five-mile bus route that connects Public Square with University Circle.The route, which blends aspects of bus and rail travel, introduces a new and largely untested mode of transportation.

Bus rapid transit costs about half as much as light rail and is more flexible because it doesn't rely on tracks and can accommodate on-street parking."
