The selling points of the Cleveland System are that it provides fast, comfortable, clean, dependable service and it provides a seat. The Cleveland System is quite a contrast with the "people sewers" (as Lewis MUmford described them) found in some of the very large cities in the U.S.A. The daily weekday patronage at the 13 non-downtown stations varies from 500 to 8000, with an average of 2850. At the Union Terminal the average patronage is 23,000 per day. The outlying stations with high patronage figures have large free parking facilities.
