PATrain service was discontinued in April 1989, and replaced by an express bus service from McKeesport. The Capitol Limited ceased to stop in 1991, and in the months prior an average of one passenger boarded at McKeesport per journey.[2]
The McKeesport Transportation Center has remained the primary transit hub of the greater McKeesport area. In response to significant cutbacks to routes in the region by the Port Authority of Allegheny County, Heritage Community Transportation began serving the station in 2014.[3]
In 2017 the complex underwent a $1 million redevelopment, which included demolition of aging structures, new road and parking surfaces, Port Authority driver rest facilities and new shelters.[4][5]
Servicesedit
The McKeesport Transportation Center is currently served by the Port Authority of Allegheny County and Heritage Community Transportation.
The current Port Authority routes are the 56 Lincoln Place, 61C McKeesport-Homestead and P7 McKeesport Flyer.[1] A number of additional routes stop kerbside on Lyle Boulevard. The current Heritage route serves a number of adjacent communities.[6]
