Getting around
Though Pittsburgh is a city of distinct districts, transportation between them is simple. Buses through town (free– $2.75), the Monongahela and Duquesne Heights trolley inclines ($1.75), and a small "T" subway system (free downtown; further out the fare runs up to $3.25 at rush hour) are all excellent transportation options; PAT, the area transit authority ( 
412/442-2000, 
www.portauthority.org ), has a downtown service center at 534 Smithfield St (Mon– Thurs 7.30am–5.30pm, Fri 7.30am–5pm), where you can pick up timetables. Fifty-cent transfers, which must be bought simultaneously with your fare if needed, allow you to connect with any of the system's vehicles within three hours. For taxis, call Yellow Cab ( 412/665-8100).
