| - I love the fact that it's a part of the Port Authority system... so if you're busing it everywhere anyway, you can fork over for the transfer and it works up here. (Essentially, I spend $2.75 to get on the G2 from Oakland and transfer up Duquesne. Sounds pretty good.)
The ride up itself is only a tad rickety, but maintained pretty well, it seems. It's a little hard to take pictures of the view because of the glass and screens (because, you know, they're trying to protect you and your possessions and all)... but it's pretty nice on the way up. Just wait, though.... because you'll have a good shot of downtown Pittsburgh once you get to the top. They have a gated outlook (so you don't step over too far) from which you can take pics. Most people stop by here, but there's never too many peeps, really, to get your shot in.
(Btw, There's another outlook a little farther up the road.)
It's also interesting that they post the history of the Incline at the entrance on both ends. Quite the tourist stop for Pitt visitors. I likes it.
Next time I go up, though... It'll be with a tripod.
