Hello, Pittsburghers.
I met the cutest and sweetest guy from the Burgh. So if I wanted to visit, would it be that difficult to fly in and bum around without a car or is transportation really "iffy"? I'm from New York and pretty used to hoofing it, so I don't mind walking; but I guess I'm spoiled in that I can hop a train or a bus from pretty much anywhere on the island of Manhattan.
Any info is appreciated in addition to places to stay!
Thanks,
S

Pittsburgh's public transportation isn't as comprehensive as NYC; the topography and the city layout simply does not permit it. You can get by on public transportation just fine, and there's even shuttle buses to take you from the airport to downtown. But depending on your start point and destination point, you may end up having to go a ways out of your way to get a connection to where you're going. That's really about the only drawback. Another is that they have a lot fewer lines running into late-night and Pittsburgh doesn't have hail-cabs like NYC does. So plan ahead or make sure you're in a place you can call for a cab if you're out late at night. Bottom line, no need to rent a car.
