How Triangulmate picks the meeting spot between Cincinnati and Cleveland
- Both addresses are routed door to door for the day and time you are actually meeting — by car, taxi, the Bell Connector, the RTA Rapid or on foot, chosen per person.
- Venues where the two journeys differ by more than your chosen gap are dropped, so neither side carries the travel.
- The final walk from the station or garage stays under 10 minutes unless you raise the limit.
- Rail beats buses, and routes forcing one person through extra transfers are pushed down the list.
- Filter by cuisine, price, occasion, dietary needs, party size and minimum Google rating, then book or call straight from the result.
