PITTSBURGH — Additional trips and new downtown routing is going into effect for a handful of bus routes on Sunday.

According to PRT, trips will be added to the 54-North Side-Oakland-South Side, 71A-Negley, 71C-Point Breeze, 75-Ellsworth, and P78-Oakmont Flyer. These additional trips are going to improve service reliability, on-time performance and address crowding issues.

The 7-Spring Garden, 19L-Emsworth Limited, P12-Holiday Park Flyer, P16-Penn Hills Flyer, P67-Monroeville Flyer will have new routing in downtown to streamline operations and improve connections for riders.

Additional charges are also going to effect on Sunday.

The G2-West Busway is being extended to Penn Station on the East Busway because of a long-term detour.

The 29-Robinson will end at CCAC West due to the closure of Pittsburgh Technical College.

A temporary rail route called the “Subway Local” will operate between Allegheny Station and South Hills Junction to support upcoming rail projects.
