Multiple Port Authority bus routes will see temporary stop changes, and detoured or truncated routing during the St. Patrick’s Day Parade scheduled for Saturday, March 13.
Due to a change in the parade staging area, many bus routes passing through the Strip District will be detoured as early as 8 a.m., with other detours starting around 9 a.m. Additionally, bus routes coming from the South Hills and West End will terminate at Station Square, where riders continuing into Downtown can transfer to the T for free; the 28X Airport Flyer also will serve Station Square, temporarily bypassing Downtown. A number of routes will terminate at the East Busway’s Penn Station and a temporary rail shuttle will take riders to Steel Plaza.
Throughout Downtown and the Strip District, certain stops will not be served for the duration of the parade; temporary stops will be served in their place. Regular stops and routes are expected to resume around 3 p.m.
