• Detours will begin around noon on Friday and service will be impacted through Sunday around 6 p.m.
• On Sunday, Port Authority will operate additional service beginning about 5 a.m. on the West Busway, inclines and the light rail system to assist participants traveling to the marathon start line. Service on the East Busway will begin shortly before 4 a.m.
• Two-car light rail trains will operate from 4 a.m. until 5 p.m.
• Most buses will drop passengers off at Penn Station Stop B and pick passengers up at Penn Station Stop C. The P1/P2 will pick up and drop off at Penn Station Stop A.
• Buses will go no farther into Downtown than the end of the busway, however, a rail shuttle will operate between Penn Station and Steel Plaza. Riders can then transfer to inbound trains heading toward the North Shore.
• Because the 61-series buses will be unable to serve Oakland, a shuttle bus will operate between the intersection of Sennott Street and Oakland Avenue in Oakland and the intersection of Beacon and Murdoch streets in Squirrel Hill.
• Additionally, an 88-Penn Special bus will operate between Penn Station and both UPMC Children's Hospital in Lawrenceville and West Penn Hospital in Bloomfield.
• The 89-Garfield Commons will not be in operation.
• Due to the enormity of the detours, signs will not be posted at bus stops, and all additional service is contingent upon available staffing.
