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.
