.
Zidd
looking
over
tickets
for the
Shaker
Heights
rapid
transit
system
in
1959
. The
first
Shaker
Rapid
car
ran
along
Shaker
Boulevard
on
December
17
,
1913
. The
Van
Sweringens
,
developers
of
Shaker
Heights
,
established
the
rapid
transit
system
so
that
businessmen
in
Shaker
Heights
could
commute
to
jobs
in
downtown
Cleveland
. To
complete
the
transit
line
, the
Van
Sweringens
purchased
the
Nickel
Plate
Railroad
. By
1920
, the
line
continued
to
Public
Square
in
downtown
Cleveland
.
It
took
just
20
minutes
to
get
from the "
country
estates
" of
Shaker
Heights
to the
city
. The
Van
Sweringens
intended
for the
rapid
line
to
continue
east
to
Youngstown
, but the
line
never
got
any
farther
than the
Shaker
Heights
'
eastern
border
. The
Van
Sweringen
Company
operated
the
rapid
service
until
1944
,
when
Shaker
Heights
bought
it
from the then
bankrupt
company
. In
1975
,
Shaker
Heights
gave
the
cars
,
lines
,
stations
, and
operation
of the
transit
to the
Regional
Transit
Authority
.
