Thirty years ago, on 1985 July 3, Pittsburgh's Downtown Subway, part of the Port Authority of Allegheny County's Light Rail Transit System, was dedicated and opened to free public rides for most of the Independence Day Weekend. This is the Steel Plaza Subway Station, the main hub station with three rail links to subway stations further Downtown (and, as of 2012 March 25, to stations on the North Side), to a station at First Avenue and one on the South Side at Station Square and stations in the South Hills, and to a station at Penn Station. There is underground pedestrian access to the Steel Plaza Subway Station from the 64-floor U.S. Steel Tower, 56-floor BNY Mellon Center, and the 14-floor BNY Mellon Client Service Center.
