By Air

There are several options in transportation from the airport with a wide price range. This information is reliable to the best of our knowledge.

For the brave spirited and economical, the PAT Bus Airport Flyer is only $2.25 one way. It runs 7 days a week every 45 minutes. Hours of operation are 5:30 a.m. to 11:50 p.m. The nearest stop to the Seminary is at Forbes and Morewood in Oakland. From there you will need to go one block up to Fifth Ave. and take a 500 Highland Park Bus. This will cost $1.75. Tell your driver you need to get off at Pittsburgh Seminary which is across the street from Peabody High School.

For the slightly less adventurous, the Airport Express runs regularly from the airport to the Holiday Inn in Oakland. From the Holiday Inn you can catch a cab to the Seminary at 616 N. Highland Avenue for just a few more dollars.

For those who want their trip to be totally predictable, call Regency Transportation at 412-922-6888 at least one day in advance to arrange for direct service to the Seminary.

For those who don't like any of those options just catch one of the many yellow cabs at the airport. You may have to pay dearly, however, depending upon traffic.
