  • Seats are limited. There are 55 seats available for the trips between Bradford and Pittsburgh, and reservations are first come, first served. If you reserve a seat on the Bradford to Pittsburgh bus and do not show up for either direction, you will be charged $20 per direction. This will be charged to your University account.
  • When purchasing a ticket to your final destination city, be sure to select only the 4:30 PM Friday departure.  Do not purchase a 2 PM, or 6 PM departure bus ticket – these are for Pittsburgh students only. You will not arrive in Pittsburgh in time to board those buses.
  • You may reserve one-way tickets on the Pitt-Bradford bus and the buses to other cities. If applicable, please indicate one way on the Pitt-Bradford reservation form and the direction of travel (one way from Pitt-Bradford or one way to Pitt-Bradford).
