Yeah. My knowledge is due to Anthrocon being there every year since 2006 (with obvious exception). There used to be a private airport shuttle service, but that was bought out by SuperShuttle. The only alternative to the airport is the Port Authority Transit's 28X bus... or a taxi.

Coach USA in Pittsburgh frequently ran Amtrak bustitutions. I'm sure they'd have obliged. Alliance is the only intermediate stop.

Yeah, but that'll be a full 50 passenger commuter bus VS how many were transferring? It probably wasn't enough to justify the coach.
