Red Bus Lanes Officially Installed Downtown 

With the installation of the red bus-only lanes, PRT's Bus Rapid Transit construction has reached an exciting milestone. Learn more about the impacts on vehicle and pedestrian traffic below: 

How are red bus lanes painted? Who can and can't use red transit lanes? How do they fit into Pittsburgh's Bus Rapid Transit project? PRTX is Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s bus rapid transit service. Communities with PRTX service can expect more reliable, on-time service thanks to transit-only travel lanes and intersection and signal improvements. The project includes 23 new bus stations with glass shelters, upgraded amenities like next-bus arrival screens, fare vending machines, seating, lighting, trash receptacles, emergency phones, and security cameras. The entire community will benefit from significant investments in pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure including new sidewalks, accessible ramps, protected bike lanes, traffic signals, and landscaping. The University Line is Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s first corridor under PRTX. The University Line will operate between Downtown, Uptown and Oakland with bus service from the corridor extending into the east end and beyond. The University Line will use Fifth and Forbes Avenues in Uptown and Oakland and Fifth and Sixth Avenues in Downtown. Five bus routes will operate on this corridor once construction is complete - these routes are currently the 61A, 61B, 61C, and 71B.
