I find it amazing that Pittsburgh Regional Transit is telling the people of Pittsburgh not to drive during the NFL Draft. If PRT back in the 1980s had a little vision it would have continued to build a effective/efficient “subway system” that went north, east and west, not just south.
As with most things in Pittsburgh, it all has to do with lack of vision. Transportation is vital for commuters and others around the city of Pittsburgh; they rely on public transportation for work, school, medical appointments, etc.
Leaders want Pittsburgh to be a city people flock to, but the problem is there is a serious lack of transportation (they cut routes) for many individuals who live outside the city so they must drive.
It is time to invest in an expansion of the subway system for all those who live in and around Allegheny County. It’s about having a vision.
