Busway is nowhere near capacity… come on now… PAT had nearly 40 routes utilizing the Busway at Rush Hour back in the 90s, there aren’t even half that many routes today…. Commuter express buses have been slashed to the bare bone.

Or just run more P1/P2s seems like the cheaper solution.

You should demand more P1/P2s then, not be forced to take an extra 15-20 min detour through Oakland and Uptown. And I venture to say most people would not be willing to take that detour you are, you in the minority.
P1/P2 Downtown P3 Oakland
Simple, nobody gets confused.

No ones going to take that longer detour through Oakland on the P3… They will still crowd onto P1 P2. I remember when they tried to stop P2s from entering downtown, it served no purpose but make P1 that more crowded….
Heads at PRT couldnt be more “I work for transit, but damn if you ever catch me riding the bus” out of touch people.

P3 going downtown, just made no sense to me…. It’s not needed not from a Busway perspective or Oakland, and making people from beyond Wilkinsburg transfer????? Who was this benefiting?

The Century III Chipotle says hold my beer! Never any Fajita veggies and they constantly char the chicken.

Just a caveat to add - Mobile Ticketing doesnt NOT work on the T, so you will need to use a ConnectCard.
From the back n forth dialogue I saw on Twitter with PRT .... PRT seems to be in the process of moving to a unified NFC payment system like other Transit Systems with proper fare payment technology (NYC's OMNY, Chicago's Ventra). So the current Mobile Ticketing may never get going on the T.

Actually its First Ave and Allegheny (Science Center/Heinz) .... Station Square is Fare Required, just to clear that up...
