Transport options to the conference venue:

MTA PAB Székház (Jurisics Miklós u. 44)

1. From Pécs Railway Station (Pécs Pályaudvar)

The Pécs Railway Station (Indóház tér 1, 7622) is located south of the city center.

• Walking:
  • Feasibility: Walking is not recommended from the Railway Station to Jurisics Miklós utca. It's a long, uphill journey covering a significant distance.
  • Estimated time: Approximately 40-50 minutes (around 3-3.5 km) with considerable elevation gain.
• Bus:
  This is the most recommended public transport option.
  • How: From the bus stops directly in front of the Railway Station (Pécs Pályaudvar), you'll need to take a bus that goes towards the city center or directly towards the Mecsek-oldal (hillside) area where Jurisics utca is located.
  • Recommended lines:
    • Bus 34Y, 35Y, 36: These lines travel from the Railway Station up towards the Mecsek-oldal. The closest stop to the venue would be "MTA Székház". This stop is right at the venue.
  • Travel time: Approximately 15-20 minutes by bus, depending on traffic. More about bus schedule:
  • Tickets: Purchase tickets in advance from kiosks (Relay, Trafik), or online, or directly from the driver (usually at a higher price). Validate your ticket upon boarding. A 24-hour or 72-hour travel pass might be economical for multiple journeys.
    More about ticket options:
    
• Taxi:
  • Feasibility: Convenient and direct.
  • Estimated time: Approximately 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic.
  • Cost: Around 2,500 - 3,500 HUF. Taxis are readily available at the station.

2. From Pécs Downtown (e.g., Széchenyi tér)

Széchenyi tér is the main square in Pécs city center.

• Walking:
  • Feasibility: Walking is possible, but be aware that it's a significant uphill climb from the city center to Jurisics utca. For those who enjoy walking and don't mind an incline, it offers nice views.
  • Estimated time: Approximately 15-25 minutes, depending on your exact starting point and pace.
• Bus: This is a convenient and highly recommended option from the city center.
  • How: From various stops around the city center (e.g., Vásárcsarnok, Kórház tér, Barbakán), you can catch buses heading uphill towards the Mecsek-oldal.
  • Recommended lines:

• Bus 34Y, 35Y, 36: These lines travel from the Railway Station up towards the Mecsek-oldal. The closest stop to the venue would be "MTA Székház". This stop is right at the venue.

• Travel time: Approximately 15-20 minutes by bus, depending on traffic. More about bus schedule:
• Tickets: Purchase tickets in advance from kiosks (Relay, Trafik), or online, or directly from the driver (usually at a higher price). Validate your ticket upon boarding. A 24-hour or 72-hour travel pass might be economical for multiple journeys.
  More about ticket options:
  
• Taxi:
  • Feasibility: Quick and easy, especially if you prefer to avoid the uphill walk or bus.
  • Estimated time: Approximately 5-10 minutes, depending on traffic.
  • Cost: Around 1,500 - 2,500 HUF. Taxis are readily available in the city center.
  • As an alternative, use the BOLT app.

• Taxi Companies: Reliable local taxi companies include Taxi Pécs (72/222-222) or Pécs Taxi (72/444-444). It's often best to call a company or use an app rather than hailing one on the street, especially outside the main squares.
• Address: Always have the full address of the venue (MTA PAB Székház, 7624 Pécs, Jurisics Miklós u. 44) ready for taxi drivers or when asking for directions.
• Currency: Ensure you have Hungarian Forints (HUF) for bus tickets and taxis (though some taxis accept card payments).
• As an alternative, use the BOLT app.
•  

Enjoy the conference in Pécs!

Transportation Options

Public Transit — RTA Red Line + Local Bus/Walk

• RTA Red Line (light rail) — The most affordable, commonly used option. From the airport’s lower‐level RTA/Airport Station, you can ride directly into downtown (Tower City or nearby). (Cleveland Airport)
• From there, depending on where on/near CSU you need to go, you may need a short walk or local bus — downtown-to-university-area logistics vary depending on time and final building.
• Time & Cost: ~25–30 minutes to downtown; fare typically ~$2.50–$3.00 one-way. (Rome2Rio)
• When it runs: Frequent — every ~15 minutes during much of the day. (riderta.com)
• Tip: This is usually the cheapest and most reliable option if you don’t have heavy luggage and are comfortable navigating a transit + walk/bus final leg.

🚖 Taxi / Ride-sharing (Uber / Lyft)

• Taxi or rideshare from the airport directly to CSU/downtown. Pick-up zones for taxi/ride-share are available at CLE. (Cleveland Airport)
• Time & Cost: Roughly 15–20 minutes drive under normal traffic; typical fare to downtown ~ US$30–45 depending on time of day and demand. (Rome2Rio)
• Good option if: you have luggage, arrive late, or prefer door-to-door convenience.

🚐 Shuttle Services / Private Vans / Black-Car Services

• There are shuttle services operating between CLE and downtown (or nearby downtown) — including shared vans or private van/towncar services. (Prime Time Shuttle)
• Cost: Typically more expensive than RTA but can be competitive with taxis depending on service type and how many people ride. (Prime Time Shuttle)
• When useful: If you have lots of luggage, traveling in a group, or want a pre-booked ride rather than figuring out taxis or transit.

🚗 Rental Car / Personal Vehicle / Driving

• If you prefer driving yourself — you can rent a car at CLE and drive to CSU or downtown. Parking and traffic management downtown apply. (The Cleveland Traveler)
• Time: Typically ~15–20 minutes driving from CLE to downtown under normal traffic. (Rome2Rio)
• When useful: If you plan to move around the region, need flexibility, or arrive outside transit-operating hours.

🔄 Mixed Approaches / Things to Know

• Some shuttle services or private-car companies may offer shared rides or flat-rate rides from CLE to downtown (or near CSU). (Prime Time Shuttle)
• If you choose public transit (RTA) + walk or local bus: confirm location of your final CSU building — “downtown” for CSU may require a short walk from the nearest station.
• Rideshare/taxi pickup zones are outside the baggage claim / ground-transportation area at CLE. (Case Western Reserve University)

✅. Recommendation

• If you’re traveling light: take the RTA Red Line — cheap, reliable, fairly quick.
• If you have lots of luggage or arrive late / want door-to-door: use rideshare / taxi / shuttle.
• If you need flexibility during your stay or plan side-trips: consider rental car or rideshare.

Pittsburgh International Airport to the University of Pittsburgh

The nearest airport to the University of Pittsburgh is the Pittsburgh International Airport. It is a 30-40-minute drive to the University from the airport. Rental cars, taxis, and public transportation are readily available at the airport. The cost of a taxi from Pittsburgh International Airport to the University of Pittsburgh is approximately $60. Both Uber and Lyft also operate in Pittsburgh.

Super Shuttle (800-258-3826) serves the Pittsburgh International Airport and the hotels in Oakland. The charge is about $25.00 one way (you must mention that you will use round-trip service on your first trip to get a slightly discounted, round trip rate). You can make reservations online (supershuttle.com) or in person at the airport. The depot is located behind the escalator near the luggage pick-up (US Airways) and car rental agencies. The Shuttle collects passengers all day and night. Check with the depot when you arrive for the departure times. The shuttle will take you to the Holiday Inn, Oakland, and you should mention that is your destination.

The 28X Airport Express (Port Authority Transit bus) (412-442-2000) is very reliable and inexpensive, just several dollars. The bus runs each 20-30 minutes from the ground transportation area of the airport. The driver does not carry change, so have small bills and change on hand. The bus stops in Oakland at the Corner of Fifth Ave. and Bigelow Blvd, directly opposite the Cathedral of Learning.

Parking
If you drive, please try to arrive to campus at least 30 minutes before your scheduled visit to allow time to park and find your way to your destination. Hourly visitor parking and maps are available.

Getting around Pittsburgh
Navigating Pittsburgh can be quite difficult for someone who is not used to the roads.
