Pittsburgh International Airport People Movers
# Pittsburgh International Airport People Movers

The Pittsburgh International Airport People Mover is a fully automated people mover system at the Pittsburgh International Airport serving Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Designed and installed at a cost of $14 million by Adtranz (now Bombardier), it runs in two parallel tunnels to connect the landside terminal with the airside terminal.

## History

The Pittsburgh International Airport People Mover began service upon the opening of the new Midfield Terminal on October 1, 1992, using Bombardier Innovia APM 100 vehicles.

To handle increasing passenger traffic, a $9.5 million improvement project was undertaken in 1999. A total of two cars were added to the people mover system; one was added to each train, turning each two-car train into a three-car train. The stations were then expanded to accommodate the extra cars. The project also included refurbishing of the original cars.

The proposed remodeling project for the airport, unveiled in 2017, planned to take the trams out of service permanently because the proposed Landside Terminal was slated to be connected to the existing Airside Terminal.
