Abstract

This report is one of nine case studies prepared as part of the study, Guideway Transit and Intermodalism: Function and Effectiveness. This case study examines guideway transit and intermodalism in the context of the nation's pioneer in transit busways, a major metropolitan area revitalizing an old streetcar system, and continuing use of incline planes. Pittsburgh is serving as a model for other metropolitan areas considering using busways as a primary method of public transportation. Numerous main points and lessons teamed can be·useful for other communities that are considering investing in fixed guideway transit.
