Commuters take the bus and light rail into Cleveland
Shaker Heights is commuter-friendly, with access to the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s bus stops and light rails. The Green and Blue lines stop at the Warrensville-Shaker Rapid Station, and LeSueur says commuters leave their cars in the lot and take the train into Cleveland. “You can get downtown easy-peasy, and then you have the bus lines that do different loops downtown,” LeSueur says. From the Shaker Square station, in the neighboring Buckeye-Shaker, you can reach downtown Cleveland in less than 15 minutes. The bus takes a little longer, about 45 minutes. If you are driving, expect a half-hour commute downtown during rush hour.
