Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Pittsburgh are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for Pittsburgh in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost holiday decorations near Market Square, Pittsburgh

Hi, I'm Lena Rossi. On Saturday at 6:15 pm I left a tote of holiday decorations behind after stepping out of a cafe near Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh. The tote is red with a green trim, zipper dented, and inside are glass ornaments, a string of warm-white lights, and a small pine wreath. I remember pausing to chat with a friend and then turning around to grab the tote, only to find it missing. These decorations mean a lot to us and I’m hoping they’re recovered.

Lost passports in Pittsburgh, PA

On Monday around 9:15 a.m., I realized my passports were missing from my bag while I was walking near the Point State Park fountain in downtown Pittsburgh. Those passports are essential for the international trip I’ve been planning for months, and the thought of being delayed is terrifying. I had stopped at Market Street for a quick coffee, and when I turned to go, my sleeve felt lighter and the documents were gone. If anyone found them near the fountain or along the river, please help me get them back through the site.
