Public transportation, between the Lower Station of The Duquesne Incline
and Downtown
Pittsburgh, is provided by the Port Authority Transit(PAT) system,
operated by the
Port
Authority of Allegheny County, by bus
routes serving
the West End and South Hills sections of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.
Frequent bus service is provided by bus routes with the numerical
prefixes 21, 26, 31, 36*, and also Express route 28B. In Downtown
Pittsburgh,
these
bus routes can be boarded at designated stops(check the bus
stop signs for specific route numbers) on Stanwix Street,
Penn Avenue, and at the bus stop on Liberty Avenue next to the
Hilton Hotel.
* Bus Route 36A does NOT serve The Duquesne Incline, nor the city's West End, as do all other routes with the numerical prefix 36. Instead, Route 36A uses the Fort Pitt Tunnel to go straight to Banksville Road and continue into the South Hills.
All Port Authority Transit(PAT) passes, tickets, tokens, and current
transfers(including free "CT" continuation transfers) can be used
to pay
for
transportation on the Duquesne Incline.
*Senior Citizens may ride The Duquesne Incline, as well as PAT buses and Light Rail Transit vehicles,

*Passengers with Disabilities may ride The Duquesne Incline,
as well as PAT buses, at half of the published rate of fare during
