First Pittsburgh Railways line to have PAYE cars? The Inside and
Outside Loop Lines which ran on Shady, Penn, Cecil Alley, and Fifth
Avenue. In 1914 this was route 79.
They received Pay As You Enter cars in October 1908, probably the
brand new 3500s. This was the first time you walked past the
conductor and paid a fare instead of the conductor coming to you.
