Actually, the T station (South Side) is about a block and half away from the incline. Just remember although a number of downtown stops are part of a free zone you have to pay to ride to the South Side Station. Plus you need to purchase a round trip fare or the incline. They do have a day pass that was $7 the last time I looked. You can google the Allegheny Transit Authority for more info.
