On Saturday, March 14, more than 50 bus routes will be detoured in downtown Pittsburgh for the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Most detours will begin at 7 a.m. and end around 2 p.m. Some detours will continue until 5 p.m. when Pittsburgh police are expected to reopen streets.
Because several bus routes will be unable to reach some areas of downtown, riders will be able to disembark buses and transfer for free to light-rail cars at Station Square or Penn Station, the bus and rail station along the Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway. PRT will be operating a free rail shuttle between Penn Station and Steel Plaza.
Start times are approximate and are effective with the closure of the parade route and reopening of streets by Pittsburgh police afterward.
Riders should allow for extra time when traveling on detoured bus routes.
