Community groups calling for more public transit Wednesday met in the Hill District with a clear goal: If they're going to get people on buses, they have to get people in the streets.
"As organizers, we need to adopt the civil rights model," said Mel Packer of Pittsburghers for Public Transit. "We put thousands of people in the streets. That's how they listen to us. Talk to people, and we can build a mass movement."
