forget public transit, just take a cab at night when it snows


the title says it all.

After landing at the Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport at 6:15pm, A and I (well mostly it was me) decided to take the RTA 66 Redline from the airport to University Circle.  The fare was only $2.00/person, which meant we could avoid the $40 cab ride.  I figured we could catch the free evening shuttle once we got off the train, but I did not anticipate the snow falling, the amount of snow already on the ground, the ice, the frigid coldness of the air during that night, or the difficulty of locating a shuttle that comes every twenty minutes.  After failing miserably to locate the shuttle pickup point (it was not easy to go from a location printed on a map to the actual location), we called for a taxi.  The taxi took over an hour to get to us probably since no one wanted to take a job that was only a mile ride (roughly $6).  Nevertheless, we eventually made it to our destination at 9:00pm and I learned a big lesson.  forget public transit, just take a cab at night when it snows.
