For the return journey from Pittsburgh, passengers should look for buses with the headsign “99N McCandless – Ross Park & Ride Football Flyer.”
Riders must keep their passes, as they are required for boarding the connecting Pittsburgh Regional Transit buses and for the return trip to the Zelienople parking lot.

Round-trip fare for the service is $10 per day. Payments must be made in exact cash and are collected on a first-come, first-served basis once passengers are onboard.

Each bus has a seating capacity of 46 to 54 passengers and the authority noted that standing is not permitted during the trip.
The special service will result in some changes to local commuter schedules. Regular service for Route 3 and Route 4 will not operate on Thursday, April 23, or Friday, April 24. However, Route 1 and Route 2 will continue to run as scheduled during those two days.
