Pittsburgh Regional Transit bus route changes go into effect Sunday
If you ride PRT buses in Pittsburgh, there’s a chance your route could look different starting Sunday.
Pittsburgh Regional Transit will implement a service adjustment that will affect several routes, stop locations, and schedules. It also includes the launch of Downtown service on the University line. which is the 61A, 61B, 61C, and 71B.
This has been in the works for months, but some bus riders say they are still not ready.
This will be the last time Donna Oguntayo regularly transfers buses at this stop on Liberty Avenue.
“I’m sitting here right now, and the 61C is not going to be here tomorrow, you know,” Oguntayo said.
The stop for one of the buses she takes is being moved to nearby Fifth Avenue, where the station is still closed off. The distance, she says, won’t be an inconvenience.
“I’ll figure it out.”
“It’ll benefit, and I think the whole city will, at large. It is an improved system of traffic,” Anthony Williams said.
Fredrick Littlejohn came to KDKA-TV looking for his new bus route.
“I don’t even know how they’re going to get through it for tomorrow,” he said. “It sucks.”
One significant change is that the University Line buses will now utilize the newly painted bus-only lanes on Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
“It’s just safer, it’s convenient,” Williams said.
“I like (the new bus lanes) because it’s a lot of cars,” Littlejohn said.
“And you know, all the changes of the routes and where to catch what, it was confusing at first, but adjustments, that’s what adjustments are,” Williams added.
Oguntayo thinks there should have been announcements on the buses.
“I wish we’d known about it sooner,” she said.
“But I’m okay with it, everything having to change, but I’m worried about senior citizens, it will mess them up,” Littlejohn said.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Tommy Novak shoveled Egor Chinakhov’s rebound for a hard-fought goal, and frustrations over officiating and scoring chances denied melted away. Novak was the only Pittsburgh Penguins (29-15-12) goal scorer who was not a rookie.
And the Penguins hit the Olympic break with a well-earned 5-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres (32-19-6) at Key Bank Center.
Avery Hayes scored a pair of impressive goals. Important ones, too.
Second shift. First career shot. First NHL goal. The perfect storm of Penguins’ injury (Rickard Rakell), illness (Noel Acciari), and personal absence (Blake Lizotte) created a need for the Penguins to make a recall just hours before the game. The organization chose the scrappy Hayes to make his NHL debut, and they were handsomely rewarded.
Midway through the first period, Hayes chased a bouncing puck in the offensive zone and zipped past defenseman Jacob Bryson for a short breakaway. Hayes (1) showed a healthy burst of speed past Bryson for the puck and whipped it past Buffalo goalie Alex Lyon at 9:17 of the first period for a 1-1 tie.
The goal changed the game as the sputtering Penguins sprang to life.
Hayes had unfinished business. Second career shot, second career goal.
Later in the first period, Hayes flashed more speed by chipping the puck into the offensive zone and racing past everyone to take possession. He worked the puck behind the net for Anthony Mantha, who snapped a pass back to Hayes, who was charging toward the net.
Hayes (2) roofed a tight-angle one-timer past Lyon at 18:47 for a 2-1 Penguins lead.
Ben Kindel also scored a pair of goals.
The Penguins’ goals were exclusively from rookies through the first 40 minutes. Early in the second period, Kindel stole the puck at the defensive blue line, launching himself on a two-on-one with Justin Brazeau.
Kindel (13) unleashed a particularly wicked wrister for the near post and past Lyon at 7:44 of the second period for the unassisted goal and a 3-1 lead.
Kindel (14) also scored the empty-netter with 13 seconds remaining.
The Penguins started well, but one little mistake quickly turned into an early deficit. Penguins winger Egor Chinakhov carried the puck too long and was stripped of possession at the red line. Buffalo quickly countered, and former Penguins winger Jason Zucker (15) sniped a far-corner shot over Penguins goalie Arturs Silovs at 1:46 of the first period.
However, the Buffalo power plays continued, and Buffalo made their fourth chance count when Tage Thompson put a quarter in the piggy bank, snapping a tight-angle shot into the small space above Silovs’s shoulder and beneath the crossbar at 1:55 of the third to cut the Penguins’ lead to 3-2.
At the time, it was Buffalo’s fourth power play, compared to just one for the Penguins, despite some opportunities for referees Mike Sullivan and Jake Brenk to even the chances.
The Penguins ended with three power play chances after Peyton Krebs ran over Silovs in the third period, an act for which he received a minor penalty and some heavy right hands from defenseman Connor Clifton after the pair dropped the gloves.
Buffalo ended with five power plays, including an advantage in the final 90 seconds when Anthony Mantha was called for hooking.
Silovs stopped 25 of 27. Lyon stopped 27 of 31 before being pulled for the extra attacked.
Penguins Notes
The team played without Rakell and Blake Lizotte. Rakell was out with a lower-body injury, which coach Dan Muse termed day-to-day. Lizotte is with his wife, attending the birth of their first child.
Avery Hayes was the 12th rookie to play for the Penguins this season. That figure leads the NHL.
Since the Sabres fired GM Kevyn Adams, the team was 20-3-1 entering the game Thursday.
