Pittsburgh rarely looks at Northeast Ohio with anything except a smattering of pity in its eye. Their football team is better, their economy stronger, their Panini-style sandwiches more original and tasty than our Panini sandwiches. Of course, the Pirates suck, so there’s that.

According to Fresh Water Cleveland, the RTA, and specifically the HealthLine, made Pittsburgh envious.

Pittsburgh likes RTA because Pittsburgh wasn’t waiting at the stop at Broadview and Pleasant Valley Roads last night when the bus rolled up, slowed to 20 mph, looked at the three folks waiting there, then sped away.
Pittsburgh had a BRT before anyone else in America — why don’t they just fix their own by getting rid of it?
evidently they don’t ride busses here and have to live with schedules that are a joke…like a connection for busses that only run once a half-hour, but one leaves one minute before the other arrives…at night…of the busses that run when they want to because there are no supervisors around at night…or the customer service that only operates during the weekday and good luck getting a real person (and they can’t answer any questions)…rta has gotten worst and worst in customer awareness and customer service….changes that don’t take money to fix!
