Chapel Hill

Due to a request by Chapel Hill Mall, all mall route buses no longer serve mall property. X60 North Coast Express bus service to Cleveland now serves a city-owned parking deck in downtown Cuyahoga Falls instead.

Other buses have been moved to a street location outside mall property. The former Bakers Square Restaurant on Independence Avenue has been turned into a hub shelter for the routes 7, 10, 12, 19, 34 and circulator routes 51, 53 and 59 serving the mall at "Independence Turnaround", which has no indoor facilities. Route 59 does also stop at the shelter on mall property formerly used by all buses. The other buses also stop on a street on the edge of the mall parking lot.

METRO RTA service offers a number of connection opportunities to other area transit agencies.

GCRTA, a neighboring transit agency, provides connecting services between Cuyahoga County, Ohio (Greater Cleveland) and Akron METRO RTA. The two systems connect with one line in Brecksville on Katherine Boulevard, near the former VA Medical Center. GCRTA does not serve METRO RTA's Robert K. Pfaff Transit Center.

METRO RTA's "North Coast Express" routes (60X, 61X) connect with GCRTA routes in downtown Cleveland.
