Pittsburgh transit cuts could change daily life

Losing over a third of Pittsburgh’s bus service isn’t just an inconvenience—it could mean some neighbors, like Brian Hatgelakas who is blind, might lose their independence entirely. Riders and community groups are urging Pittsburgh Regional Transit to hold off on these drastic cuts and fare hikes, pushing lawmakers for more funding instead. Over 200,000 letters have already gone out to officials, and two new bills aim to restore and even expand service. This isn’t just about buses; it’s about staying connected as a city. How would these changes affect your daily routine or your neighborhood? #Transportation #PittsburghTransit #PublicTransit
