<p>At a certain point, if bus service is cut drastically, the universities in Pittsburgh are going to decide they can do a better job at lower cost by running a larger coordinated bus system of their own. That would make the budget of the transit system even more stressed, if they don’t receive those revenues from the universities. </p>
<p>I believe Penn State’s student union charters buses from the campus to major cities in the state during breaks. If needed, maybe an entity at Pitt could also do that to reach the airport during breaks.</p>
