Public Transportation

Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) is the public transit agency for the greater Pittsburgh area, providing bus, light rail, incline and paratransit service. For bus service and the "T" - Pittsburgh's light rail system - pay as you enter at the front door.

You can transfer between the 28X (from the Pittsburgh International Airport) and most other PRT bus or "T" routes in downtown Pittsburgh. PRT fare is $2.75 for unlimited rides within a three hour period. Riders can purchase fares at the ticket vending machine near Door #6 next to baggage claim. Exact change is required when paying with cash as bus drivers do not carry change. How to ride the bus

Travel between the Downtown and North Shore is free on the light rail system. How to ride the light rail system

Few cities in America feature inclines, and none are as historic as the Monongahela or Duquesne Incline, both of which overlook one of the world's great cityscapes. Often called the Mon Incline for short, the Monongahela Incline is the oldest continuously operating funicular railway in the U.S.  The Duquesne Incline is owned by us and operated by the nonprofit Society for the Preservation of the Duquesne Heights Incline. How to ride the inclines
