Because several bus routes will be unable to reach streets closer to the middle of downtown, riders will be able to disembark buses and transfer to light-rail cars at Station Square or Penn Station, and the bus and rail station along the Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway for free.
A complete list of the detours can be found at www.rideprt.org/stpats2024.
PRT will operate a free rail shuttle between Penn Station and Steel Plaza.
Riders with questions about service can call 412-442-2000.
