Port Authority to adjust routes Nov. 20

Schedules are being adjusted for 13 bus and light-rail transit routes starting Nov. 20.

The Port Authority of Allegheny County said it adjusts schedules four times per year to improve service. Some of the adjustments are designed to alleviate overcrowding, officials said.

Printable online schedules for all routes are available at www.portauthority.org.

Oakland service adjustments starting this month include:

• 53L Homestead Park Limited: Due to the closure of the County Airport park and ride, 53L inbound trips that start before 7 a.m. will be extended to begin at the West Mifflin bus garage and will include a new stop at Lebanon Road past Noble Drive.

• 56 Lincoln Place: Due to the closure of the County Airport and Elks Lodge park and ride lots, the 56 will be rerouted to use Lebanon Church Road between Buttermilk Hollow Road and Pittsburgh-McKeesport Boulevard. Schedule times will be adjusted for all days to better coordinate with the 57 Hazelwood route and help address overcrowding.

• 57 Hazelwood: Schedule times will be adjusted for all days to better coordinate with the 56 Lincoln Place route and help address overcrowding.

• 67 Monroeville: The stop change at Monroeville Mall will become permanent with the Nov. 20 schedule. Schedule times are adjusted.

• 82 Lincoln: One inbound trip will be added beginning at East Liberty Boulevard at Penn Avenue and arriving Downtown at 8 a.m.

Other affected routes include: 12 McKnight, 38 Greentree, 51 Carrick, 51L Carrick Limited, 68 Braddock Hills, P68 Braddock Hills Flyer, 91 Butler Street and the Red Line.
