About: University of Pittsburgh Transportation System

The University of Pittsburgh Transportation System is a series of student shuttles serving the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, the city's intellectual heart. Although operated by the University of Pittsburgh, students from Carnegie Mellon and Chatham University may also ride the buses for free. While many Port Authority of Allegheny County bus routes pass through or terminate in Oakland, many of these lines only travel down main streets and do not provide efficient access between the universities and student housing. The university uses a numbering scheme similar to that of the Port Authority.
