GETTING TO CAMPUS

By Air:
From the Pittsburgh International Airport, the Airlines Transportation Company shuttle bus departs from the lower level of the airport every half hour and drops visitors at hotels in downtown Pittsburgh. From most hotels in Downtown, Duquesne is about a 10-15 minute walk, though it would probably be more convenient to take a cab ride (about $3.00) from the hotel to the campus. The shuttle bus will cost about $10.00. The trip to or from the Airport takes approximately 45 minutes. Cab service from the airport into Pittsburgh is approximately $30.00 and takes approximately 45 minutes.

PATransit bus service on the 28X "Airport Flyer" route is $2 one way (schedule available at airport). The bus departs from the airport approximately every 45 minutes at the lower level bus stop. It drops visitors off in Downtown Pittsburgh, or at the Duquesne University pedestrian bridge on Boulevard of the Allies.
