Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
How are fares collected? What about my change?Open or Close
- The Duquesne Incline is part of the transportation system in Pittsburgh and therefore uses the same CASH fare system as the buses and trolleys. A change machine is available for your convenience. Having the exact fare in hand speeds up the payment process considerably.
-
How can I get a free ride as a senior?Open or Close
- Seniors 65 years and older can ride free if they can present a Senior Citizen ID card. The Duquesne Incline is required to request a Pennsylvania Senior Citizen ID card as proof of age in order to be reimbursed by the Commonwealth of PA. No exceptions!
-
Are there restrooms at the incline?Open or Close
- Sorry, no restrooms. A port-a-john is available outside of the lower station. The Duquesne Incline has been part of Pittsburgh's transportation system since 1877, similar to a trolley or to the cable cars of San Francisco instead of an amusement ride.
-
What are the expected wait times for the incline?Open or Close
- Weekend afternoons are our busiest times. Expect to wait in line for about 10 minutes in both directions.
-
How accessible is the incline?Open or Close
- There are many steps to traverse from the lower station parking lot. The Upper Station located at 1220 Grandview Ave, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15211 is wheelchair accessible. Our observation deck is also wheelchair accessible. The Historic (original) Incline cars can accommodate wheelchairs up to 25 inches in width.
