Buy a transfer for a roundtrip ride. Go right before sunset for daylight view , have dinner at nearby Shiloh Grill (on Shiloh St.), then marvel at the sparkling skyline on your return trip after dark.

$5 for adults and $2.50 for kids round trip , can't beat the price, exact change , and yes it is cool .

Exact change needed. Pay at the top station; get a transfer for round-trip. (October 2012: $7 RT for two adults)

Do NOT miss a ride on the incline. It’s iconic and the views are great in ANY weather. Make sure you have small cash for the tickets.

Michael Knauer

Pressed Penny machine at the top. The ride doesn't last very long, but it's worth the trip.

Bianca Coleman

Trying to get errands done on a nice day is next to impossible if u rely on the incline. Tourists everywhere!

Jessica C

Guy Montage

Yeah you could drive to the overlook but this is far more interesting

Matt Wolford

If it's lit, it's still running. A nice rule of thumb if you're a pm rider

Did you know? The Monongahela opened on May 28, 1870. Today it is the oldest continuously operating funicular railway in the U.S. Read more

Use this Incline at least one side to go to Mount Washington.

David McNamara

You don't have to pay until you exit, so you can probably technically ride round-trip for free (up and back without getting off).

Julia Marasco

All ghost sightings were initially believed to be nothing more than a historic business ploy, scaring steel workers into paying the original 2 cents fare. However, recent events prove otherwise.

Atilla Bora

Round trip is valid for 3 hours and saves you 30% of the full fare

Brad Gerick

$3.50 round trip . Pay when you get to the top and ask for one transfer .

Simon Barratt

They take credit cards too!

Mike Campbell

Bring exact change ! Cost me $20 because I had no smaller bills and no credit accepted!

barbee

Pretty incredible view of the Burgh!

Patrick Kirchberg

Lowest cab facing down for best view

Miles Kelly

Beautiful view of the city at the top

Michael Gram

Trolly is a waste of a fare. Humid, slow, and overcrowded. Take some selfies at the overlook for free and move on.

Chuck Welch

The cashier (at top) requires exact change. The change machine handles only $1 & $5.

Shannon Jeropke

Take a ride!

Brent Bowers

Classiest way to travel to and from mt. Washington.

A Pittsburgh tradition.

If youre scared of heights shotgun a few brewskis in the parking lot

Es mejor tomar la ruta de arriba hacia abajo, siempre hay menos fila.
