When Megabus premiered Philadelphia as a hub for their service, one of the destinations that we saw that we knew was a must-visit since neither of us had been there before was Pittsburgh. The total travel time clocks in at just under 6 hours (assuming you don't hit any bad traffic), with a brief stop in Harrisburg and a rest stop in Waterfalls, PA.
The drive both ways was very pleasant and comfortable. The fact that they made a rest stop along the way was definitely pleasing as being stuck on a bus for 6 hours can make one restless. You should definitely remember to bring a blanket with you if you get cold easily, as the air-conditioner will probably be at full blast the whole time. The WiFi was very convenient, as were the electrical outlets to keep our iPods charged.
The drop off spot in Pittsburgh was at 10th Street and Penn Avenue, which is very central to the downtown area of the city. It made it quite easy for us to walk to our hotel, as well as to various activities around the city. It is also located only a block away from the Greyhound station, which has lockers you can use as storage if need be for your trip. We took advantage of this to keep our backpacks in after we checked out of our hotel so that we wouldn't have to drag them around everywhere.
