Niagara Falls Transit operates the public transport bus services in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.

Niagara Falls Shuttle Bus Service

Established in 1960, Niagara Transit originally operated ten routes. In 2007 the operation of Niagara Transit was taken over by the transportation department of the City of Niagara Falls, at which time the agency adopted its present name. Its current service now provides 14 Monday to Saturday daytime routes, 8 Evening, Sunday & Holiday routes and 2 shuttle services for Niagara College (Welland and Glendale). Since 2012, it has also operated two of the three lines of the WEGO network, which replaced the previous Falls Shuttle service.

The motto for Niagara Falls Transit is 'The way to go'.

Operations[edit]

Potential for growth of public transit is limited as most tourists come by car or tour buses. Niagara Falls Transit is very underused due to the poor route structure, infrequent route intervals. Half hour or 15 minute routes are non existent even at rush hour. There is also a lack of pedestrian friendly bus stops, no concrete padding at many stops with few bus shelters to accommodate riders. Hotels and the two casinos offer shuttle bus service around the Falls area. Taxis are also a common form of transportation in the city. Most commuters are locals who live away from the Falls area and need to get to their workplace. ^[1]5-0 is also a carrier that provides service from the Fallsview Casino and Downtown Niagara Falls area to Niagara-on-the-Lake, using a motor coach. Service operates year-round, but with a dramatically reduced schedule during winter months.

Niagara Falls Transit offers four shuttle bus routes, the Brock Rapid, Niagara College/Glendale Campus, Niagara College/Welland Campus, and Fort Erie to Niagara Falls. The Brock Rapid, Niagara College and Fort Erie shuttles operate during the academic school year. These services carry a premium fare charge, but in many cases will allow you to connect to regular services offered by Niagara Falls Transit.

Chair-A-Van carries disabled passengers on Niagara Falls Transit.
