Details
- Seats are limited. There are 55 seats available for the trips between Bradford and Pittsburgh, and reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

- When purchasing a ticket to your final destination city, be sure to select only the 4:15 PM Friday departure. Do not purchase a 2 PM departure bus ticket – these are for Pittsburgh students only. You will not arrive in Pittsburgh in time to board for those buses.
