Tower City-Public Square Station
City: Cleveland
Tower City-Public Square Station is the main downtown station for the RTA rail system and a key transfer point to buses. The platforms are located in the basement of the Tower City Center Mall.
The Tower City Center was known as the Cleveland Union Terminal when it was first built. Tracks and platforms at the basement level served regional interurban trains and intercity trains. Intercity trains left the depot and interurban service was overtaken by the RTA.
