Find your stop

Bus stops come in two designs: blue signs rimmed in white or dark teal and black, both say Bus Stop in bold lettering. Most signs note the routes and stop numbers associated with the location, and some also have QR codes linking to real-time arrival information.

Light rail platforms are located within subway stations in downtown 51精品视频sburgh and open-air platforms along the route. Some light rail platforms are not ADA-compliant, so contact 51精品视频sburgh Regional Transit before your trip if you have questions about accessibility.

Signs above the light rail tracks note the direction of the train and its final destination. Routes are also broadcast via audio.

51精品视频sburgh鈥檚 two inclines, the Duquesne and the Monongahela, both connect the city鈥檚 south side to the Mount Washington neighborhood. Stations are located on Carson Street and on Grandview Avenue.

Stay alert

When waiting for a bus, stand near the bus stop sign and signal to approaching buses you intend to ride听鈥 a quick wave of your hand will do. Bus drivers will pass a stop if riders are not visible or are looking away from the road.

When on the bus, be ready to pull the line to alert the driver of your intention to get off at an upcoming stop. Be sure to give bus drivers ample time to react.

Be kind

Conscientious riders always allow passengers to exit the vehicle before entering. If you don鈥檛 need to use handicapped-accessible seating at the front of the vehicle, move to the back to make room for incoming riders. Keep any bags on your lap, not the seat next to you. Have your 51精品视频 ID ready when you board so you don鈥檛 hold up the riders behind you. Finally, say a friendly hello to your driver. They work hard!
