List of bus routes in Pittsburgh

The Port Authority's bus system covers Allegheny County, and its service extends into small portions of neighboring Beaver, Butler, and Westmoreland counties. These counties also have their own transit systems, including several routes that run into Downtown Pittsburgh, where riders can make connections with Port Authority service.

Route renumbering and realignments

From 1964 to 2010, the Port Authority used an alphanumeric numbering system. With the renumbering and realignments outlined in the Transit Development Plan in 2009, the present numbering system was adopted in April 2010.

Light rail and busways are designated by the following colors:

  • Red Line—former 42S South Hills Village via Beechview light rail route
  • Blue Line—former 47S South Hills Village via Overbrook and 47L Library via Overbrook light rail routes
  • Brown Line—former 52 Allentown light rail route (eliminated in 2011)
  • Green—bus routes using the West Busway, designated with a 'G'
  • Purple—bus routes using the Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway, designated with a 'P'
  • Orange—bus routes using the I-279 HOV lane, designated with an 'O'
  • Yellow—bus routes using the South Busway, designated with a 'Y'

    • As a result of the Transit Development Plan and a series of service cuts, many routes have been reworked or eliminated.

    Bus operations

  • Route numbers operating seven days a week including holidays (4 am to 2 am daily) are listed in Blue. On most of the daily bus routes, they operate on a 60-minute interval after 7 pm Monday through Saturday and all day on Sunday and Holidays.
  • Route numbers operating Monday through Saturday with limited or no holiday hours (5 am to 10 pm weekdays; 7 am to 7 pm Saturdays) are listed in Red
  • Route numbers operating Monday through Friday only (5 am to 7 pm) are listed in Bold.
  • All other plain (non-bold) routes operate Monday through Friday during peak periods only (approx: 6 am to 9 am and 3 pm to 6 pm).

    • Discontinued routes

    Bus routes that are discontinued from the lineup and integrated into other one or more route(s) throughout PAT's history include:

    Former special services

    Port Authority operated special park and ride shuttles to Steelers' games and other stadium events from 1967-2011. Routes with an "S" were for servicing one time events.
