In a giant step backwards for the city, the Port Authority is recommending that half of its weekday routes be cut in order to cut costs in a time when dedicated state funding for transit isn’t looking good.
What does this mean for biking? Well, think about it, thousands of people are going to be affected by this and life doesn’t stop just because the buses do. Bike Pittsburgh is here to help transit riders get to work using a cheap mode of transportation. If you are going to be affected by these cuts in service, please give us a call at 412-726-5872 and we’ll hook you up with resources to get you an affordable bike and tell you the best routes to use to get to work, to the grocery store, or anywhere else in the city.

I’m not going to be directly affected by this, but my mother-in-law runs a nursing home on Perry Hilltop, and the home will be absolutely crushed by this because the bulk of the staff uses public transportation.
What the news in the next few days to see how much money the state can afford to keep the Penguins in town, by the way.
this is really sad

Heh – the Pens vs. Port Authority… it is sad that a passtime can somehow be seen as more integral to the city than public transportation.
Particularly when the Port Authority should have shelled out for things that would have saved them or made them money long ago: like an automated system to tell people where to catch a bus and when, instead of paying for the call center that currently handles it all…
Hey but at least there’ll be a new T line to get all of those people who “live downtown” over to the North Shore.
Also, I can’t seem to imagine that this can in any way help the biking cause. Not being able to rely on the bus means, for me anyway, a greater chance in buying a car. Once I have a car it’s “just easier” to shoot over to this place or pop over to that one instead of hopping on my bike for the same trip…
I think it’s just bad news for our city in general. And I’m not talkin’ Allen Coage Bad News either…
