This is one from the archives as our trip up and down the incline was from last July.
Obviously after this many reviews I'm not going to say anything that hasn't been said many times prior so I'll keep it short and sweet with a brief bullet pointed PSA:
* Yes indeed exact change is where it's at. Bring it or have small bills for their change machine unless you have a golden dollar coin fetish because if it's just you and all you have are $20's you'll be swimming in the them. Also the woman behind the glass had the voice, demeanor and almost look of Roz from Monsters Inc.
(I'm watching you for exact change Wazowski!)
* The views are stellar and yes if you linger long enough you will be hit up by someone to take their picture with either the station in the background or the Pittsburgh skyline. We had two requests in under ten minutes.
* Some Yelpers mentioned that parking could be an issue but for us we showed up around three in the afternoon on a Tuesday and there was no one across the street from the lower station except for two other cars and five tour buses for Boston's show over at Stage AE.
If you're in Pittsburgh it's a classic, it's a cliche but it's also worthy of a ride to keep it going the same as always after almost 138 years.
