Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If one chooses not to bring a car onto campus, which is advised, he or she has access to readily available, cheap, and convenient public transportation. The Port Authority runs buses throughout the city at regular intervals. Use the T to travel to Station Square and other southern points. Taxis are only a phone call away. For out-of-state residents or international students, Pittsburgh International is a very visitor-friendly airport located close to town.

Duquesne students make continual use of public transportation. The buses run at regular intervals, providing quick transportation to and from off-campus jobs, housing, or parties. A new student should never miss his or her car, especially considering the parking situation.

New Shuttle

Duquesne added a shuttle for students who live on the south side, its only $50 a semester and its way better than walking or paying for parking

Loop Buses Are Great

The weekend loop buses are a very convenient way to get to Oakland and South Side. They are super over-crowded with drunk freshman, but you really have no other choice unless you want to walk.

There Are Busses to Places All Over the City but You'd Never Know It.

Duquesne is located on a bluff above the city and is therefore mostly self-contained. Information about transportation, especially buses (which are free & integral to University of Pittsburgh students 3 miles away) and the Pittsburgh attractions are not easily found
