How to Get Around Buffalo

NFTA one way, day, and monthly passes are available. For more information and schedules, visit the NFTA website. If you want to plan a trip to a specific destination, you can use the NFTA’s Trip Planner.

Here are some useful tips:

• Be sure you have a current bus schedule as routes and times may change.
• Buses might run a bit ahead or behind schedule. It is a good idea to arrive a little early at the station / stop.
• Priority seating at the front of the bus is for disabled and senior persons.
• When you want to exit the bus, pull the cord above the windows.
• Be sure you collect all personal belongings upon leaving the bus.
• When riding the bus, be sure you have the exact fare. Drivers cannot give change.

The Metro Rail is a one-line rail / subway service. It starts at UB’s South Campus and travels to the southernmost point of downtown Buffalo. Ticket vending machines can be found at all rail stations.

Below are some useful tips:

• Priority seating at the front of the rail is for disabled and senior persons.
• Rail tickets are frequently checked by NFTA personnel, even though travel is based on the honor system.
• Be sure you collect all personal belongings upon leaving the rail.
