Hi! Husband and his buddies will be staying in Pittsburgh for a weekend in November to attend a Saturday Penn State game and a Sunday Steelers game. Other than renting a car, can you recommend transportation options from Pittsburgh to State College and back on a Saturday game day in November? Thanks.

Others may know better than I do, but I think that a car rental's definitely your best (and likely cheapest/fastest) bet...

Thanks for your input. Does anyone know if shuttles are run from the city to transport people to the game at Penn State?

"Does anyone know if shuttles are run from the city to transport people to the game at Penn State?" If you mean the town of State College where Penn State is located....there are no shuttles...just follow the mass of people walking!

Mapquest shows it to be 137 miles aned almost 3 hours from Pittsburgh to State College. So chances are probably slim on a shuttle from Pittsburgh to State College.

Thank you for your replies. I told my husband that would probably be the case, but he wanted me to ask anyway.

There's an express bus that runs between State College and Pittsburgh but I'm not sure if it runs on Sat. I believe it is a Grayhound or fullington run.

Fullington has service between State College and Pittsburgh but I can't see any indication of whether it runs on weekends. http://www.fullingtontours.com/fullt.../trailways.stm

There are two daily Fullington Pittsburgh to State College local bus (Schedule 7157) and a special express service on Fridays and Sundays during school year. (schedule 7154)
