Bus & T Service Status for Monday, Feb. 8

UPDATED: 3:30 PM

Port Authority continues to provide bus and T service Monday afternoon although snowy roads and slow travel has caused widespread delays throughout the day.

Riders should anticipate the possibility of delays through the afternoon rush hour.

Service is being provided on more than 100 bus routes and on the T light rail system. Some routes have been deviated due to road conditions and drivers sometimes must detour around areas that are impassable. A complete list is provided below.

The T continues to provide service to the First Avenue Station in Downtown. A power issue in the Downtown subway prevents T service into the Steel Plaza and Wood Street stations. Bus shuttles have been serving temporary stops located outside the stations.

Other service issues:

* The Authority continues to clear Park and Ride lots. Several were not accessible this morning due to snow.
* The Mon Incline was in service today.
* The 52 Allentown light rail route is not in service.
* The Wabash HOV lanes were shut down today.


Another 60 bus routes remain out of service due to weather-related issues across the Authority's service area.

We continue monitoring efforts by public works crews to clear roads and as more routes become available, we will update this web site, our Twitter site and local media.

  1. As we return to normal, it may help to list only the routes that are (a) not running, and (b) running with deviations.

    Not to be listed means things are normal, i.e. "No news is good news". Of course with the stipulation that delays are inevitable.

  2. You say that buses are not using the bus lane through Oakland, but I did see a 71C running on it basically going down the wrong lane since the bus lane was impassable.

  3. When are the 81c, 81A and 84a going to be placed in service? There hasnt been any since FRIDAY.

  4. Regarding 81C, 81A & 84A it's difficult to speculate on when we'll resume service. That will depend on progress of road clearing and what happens with the upcoming snow. We'll be updating routes again tonight, so please check back.
