Metro

The Pittsburgh Light Railway or The - T has been operating since 1984. That is a 42.2-kilometers railway serving Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the railway transforms to the subway in Downtown Pittsburgh. The Port Authority of Allegheny County manages the system.

There are only three lines currently operating:

The Red Line runs between South Hills Village and Downtown Pittsburgh passing the Beechview village. There are six stops, that spread across the Upper St. Clair and Bethel Park until the Red Line merges with the Blue Line at Washington Junction. After coming to the Pittsburgh city limits, there is a chain of closely spaced stations through Beechview, as the bus services are limited there because of the hilly terrain.

The Blue Line-Library takes place at the Allegheny County line in the Library neighborhood of South Park. There are fifteen stations located across Library, Bethel Park, and South Park before its merge with the Blue Line - South Hills Village at Washington Junction. There a timed transfer will carry passengers to Overbrook and Downtown. Afterward, the eight firmly placed stations are located across the Overbrook, Brookline, Carrick, Beltzhoover, and Bon Air neighborhoods. After the Mt. Washington Transit Tunnel, where the Blue Line merges with the Red Line, there are only several stations of that line left: First Avenue, Steel Plaza, Station Square, and Wood Street.

The Blue Line - South Hills Village was initially built to help to relieve congestion on the Red Line. That Blue Line follows the path of the Red Line at the South Hills Village leg and the prevailing direction from Washington Junction to Willow Station. Then the South Hills Village follow the Blue Library line to South Hills Junction, where it merges with the Red Line.
