Today it's a city with a modern light rail line using a downtown subway, and the nation's largest network of busways. In between was a long and winding road with dreams of a modern metro, suburban rail ventures, "mod"ernization of the trolleys, a lengthy flirtation with a "gadgetbahn," and flights of fancy about zipping to the airport. Inside this book: the story of its transit as "Steel City" Pittsburgh became today's "Renaissance City" Pittsburgh.
