Transportation Options

All buses are equipped with ramps. You do not need to use a wheelchair or mobility device to request the ramp for getting on and off the bus. If using the ramp would make it easier and safer for you to board and exit the bus, just ask the operator!

Buses are also capable of “kneeling” – lowering the height from the entrance door at the front of the bus to the street/sidewalk for easier entry. Please ask the operator if you would like them to kneel the bus and they will be happy to assist.

All stations along the West Busway and Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway are ADA-accessible, featuring ramps, curb cuts, guide rails, and key station information available in Braille. Select South Busway stations are accessible as well, including South Hills Junction, Whited, South Bank, Central, Inglewood, Overbrook, and Glenbury.
