On the transit end of things, NE Ohio has the most interconnectable local transit system in the state. About 7 of those local agencies could somehow serve the transportation needs of six Buckeye Trail sections.
The best way on local transit to get from Cleveland to Canton is on the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority's Route 4, which is a Cleveland Express. To get to Canton, that takes about 1hr and 15min to go about 55 miles through urban NE Ohio. Then from Canton to Massillon Section, Point 14, it's about another 40 minutes.
Years ago, the express bus to Cleveland didn't exist. But the Greater Cleveland, Akron Metropolitan and Stark Area Regional Transit Authorities had (and still have) three interconnecting routes that's referred to as the "Intermodal." I requires riding 3 buses with the three agencies. The Greater Cleveland bus terminates in Brecksville where the Akron Metrobus begins, then terminates at the Robert K. Plaff Transit Center in Downtown Akron. There, the rider would transfer to the Stark bus and take it to Canton. Finally, the transit hiker would board their Route 101 and take it to Massillon. The trip from Cleveland to Canton use to take over 3 hours.
