Great shots in Akron & Cleveland, Jonesy!

Akron's system is supposed to have a posted ban on photography on the Transit Center property...

Akron METRO Transit Center Rules

Did you have any issues with photos there? (I did not when I visited there in March, 2011.)

I didn't have a chance to ride in Akron-but it looks like a very interesting system!

I completely missed this thread, lol. Great photos Jonesy! I never knew Akron still had at least one Phantom! Of course, I just sat in the Greyhound bus I took and looked out the window - I never walked around the epically huge transportation center they have there.

Cleveland...bland?! I thought it was an interesting looking city, but of course I like the look of the warehouse district and such. My hotel was conveniently/inconveniently located by the stadium, which shot off fireworks after every game at night.

Too bad about the bus fleet, with the majority of it NABIs (although nice sounding NABIs!) I think they have a mix of DD50 and Cummins powered NABIs, right?

Thanks for sharing this!
