Traveler advice

Bike rental stations are scattered throughout the city
Download the nextbike mobile app to rent a bike for $2/30 minutes.
Getting around
Bus stops are frequent
5 bus stops within 0.25miles of the house. Find the schedule here: https://www.portauthority.org/schedule-finder/ I have a bus pass you are welcome to add money to and use to make riding the bus easier.
Getting around
Street parking is available in most neighborhoods
Download the Mobile PGH app to pay for parking from your phone instead of having to find the parking pay stations. Parking is free after 6pm and on Sundays. Lots of side streets, including all the ones around my neighborhood, have free street parking.
