Our drivers, John and Rick, were amazing and kept in touch with me every step of the way, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Molly's Trolleys. They were the highlight of the wedding.

That still holds true, but I used the T to my advantage on my recent visit. I started here and decided to use the Free Fare Zone to get me to where I needed to go for the short time I was going to be in the city. It worked, but not as efficiently as I wanted it to. Little backstory, instead of the city looking at where a majority of people were living, working, and going in the city, they decided to expand the T to the North Shore. Instead of sending it up into Oakland towards Squirrel Hill to benefit neighborhoods and students at the many universities, they decided to benefit those that were coming to see the football and baseball teams. The city was told that it would eventually connect all the way out to the airport and benefit everyone. That was nearly a decade ago and nothing else has come from this other than an inflated final bill for boring a tunnel under the Alleghany River. Now that I am off my soapbox, back to the review. For all intents and purposes, this serves its purpose. The northernmost terminus (at this time) of all three lines, Red, Blue, and Silver. To gain access to the platform, as this is an above grade platform, you will need to either use the stairs or elevators. This station sits caddy corner from Heinz Field (it will always be Heinz Field) and the same side of the street as the Carnegie Science Center. The other side of the platform is the Parkway North and beyond that the North Side. All you have to do is wait here for anyone of the trains to arrive and you will be on your way south. Honestly, if you are riding within the Free Fare Zone it does not matter which line you get on. Just know that when the train does arrive at the station you will have to wait for the driver to switch ends of the car to get it going back towards Downtown. Once you are on you way, you start to descend below grade and towards the next station.

Allegheny is (for now) the northern terminus of the Pittsburgh Regional Transit light rail system…read moreand it is served by all three lines - Blue, Red and Silver. It is on the north shore. The station is above ground and exposed to the elements so if it's windy, the platform will be cold and if it's rainy, the platform will be wet and slippery. Use caution. Escalators, elevators and stairs, the station has two tracks with an island platform. There is decent signage for those who are unfamiliar with the station which is likely as other than commuters, you're in walking distance to the Steelers stadium and the Carnegie Science Center. The station is in the "free fare" zone so you do not need a ticket to board or exit here, but if you're headed beyond the city center, you will need a ticket when you depart.

I also found out that they also have great regular programs and special events too. Members receive a discount, which is great. The topics sound really interesting. I'm looking forward to attending one. We have seen so many great rotating exhibits over the years. I really love it when they have excellent art exhibits. The Vermeer exhibit a year or so ago was great. I read up about it before going and found out what a genius he really was with light. The latest exhibit French Moderns was a really good. I loved seeing all the classic artists you would expect in an exhibit like that. However, I found some other artists I had never heard of and was happy to learn about them. They were absolutely excellent. I also loved the Lewis Hine photography exhibit too. He did such a wonderful job capturing the real lives of immigrants and other hard working people from the last century. This perspective is desperately needed right now, as immigrants are often not painted in a positive light. This exhibit shone a light on how they really are and how hard they worked then and continue to work now. The 400 years of William Shakespeare exhibit was wonderful. It was so cool to see the original scripts. So interesting and different than other exhibits they have had! Another exhibit that was one of the best we have seen was the Katherine Hepburn exhibit. I loved learning all about her life, her loves, and all the fabulous clothes she wore throughout her amazing life. The car and carriage museum is also a real find. It is so great to see the evolution of vehicles from the carriage to the car. It is so cool to see all different types of vehicles created over time especially those from the local area. There was also a cool hood ornament exhibit a few years ago that was really cool especially since cars don't have them anymore. The greenhouse is always neat to see too. They have beautiful plants in and outside the greenhouse. I love seeing them grow and evolve over time. Then you go see the Clayton which is also a unique local gem. It's especially interesting to see this knowing how important the Fricks were to the local area professionally and personally. It's really great to see decorated at Christmas. It's a must visit when you come to Pittsburgh. They also offer reciprocity to other great museums all over the country.

There is not a more dependable service in the Pittsburgh area that I've encountered. Whether it is a 4:30am pickup at my residence or a midnight pickup at the airport, CityLine is there. The vehicles used by the service are high quality, including BMW 7 series and luxury SUV's. The vehicles are impeccably maintained and are always sparkling clean, inside and out. The drivers are friendly, professional, and skilled at driving whatever route in Pittsburgh and beyond. I recommend this business without hesitation, whether it is for airport transportation, a special occasion, or general transportation needs. This is a VIP car service, and whether you are a VIP or not, they will treat you like one.

The station is handicapped accessible with ramps and highly readable signage indicating where we are and the next train to arrive. At 7:00 am, the platform was busy with commuters but there were plenty of seats on board the train. And because it is a junction where the Red and Blue and Silver lines stop, there are going to be multiple trains. I had a question for a staff person and so it was great that a very nice lady was working today. Why does the PRT app indicate "Not valid for rail"? Well, that's because the bar code can't be validated on the trains but she has the "validator" app and that's now all set. Washington Junction is indeed a junction where lines from Pittsburgh to Washington PA met up with lines from Roscoe PA. Note that you are only allowed to park in designated spaces. Anywhere else and your car might not be here when you return. Food and drink are not permitted on the train and if you're listening to something, you should be using earphones.
