The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) is the quasi-public local provider of transportation management for Erie and Niagara counties in the State of New York. The NFTA oversees a number of subsidiaries, including the NFTA Metro bus and rail system, the Greater Buffalo Niagara International Airport, the Niagara Falls International Airport, and NFTA Small Boat Harbor. The NFTA Metro bus and rail system operates various vehicles using the brand names: NFTA Metro Bus, NFTA Metro Rail, NFTA Metrolink, and NFTA PAL (Para-transit Access Line).

In addition, the NFTA also owns and manages the Buffalo Metropolitan Transportation Center in Downtown Buffalo (which serves as the agency's headquarters); the Niagara Falls Transportation Center on Military Road (near the Factory Outlet Mall),the Portage Road Transit Center in Niagara Falls; and a number of strategically located bus loops and transit centers in the Buffalo-Niagara region. Many of these loops have been in continuous operation since the days of the International Railway Company, an earlier predecessor to the NFTA.

Agency-wide, the NFTA employs 1,543 full time and part-time employees and carries 94,000 passengers per day with their NFTA Metro subsidiary, with 8.9 million miles traveled every year. The NFTA Metro Bus fleet currently consists of 332 buses and 4 trolley style buses on over 60 local, express and shuttle routes. The NFTA Metro Rail System operates daily with its fleet of 27 rail cars. The NFTA Metrolink network operates about 10 vans, and the NFTA PAL operates approximately 25 vans. All service provided by the NFTA Metro subsidiary is wheelchair accessible, either by using wheelchair lifts or low-floor access.

Although the agency encompasses a wide spectrum of transportation services, with the airports, boat harbor and real estate, this article will primarily focus one of its most visible subsidiaries, the NFTA Metro system.

History

Before the creation of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, the first bus operations in Buffalo dates back to 1923 under the private operator International Bus Company. The International Railway Company (also under the same parent company of the International Traction Company) operated the vast network of streetcar routes in Erie and Niagara counties. In 1947 the proposed Niagara Frontier Rapid Transit Commission received ownership of the International Railway Company, and gave way to the creation of the Niagara Frontier Transit System, Incorporated in 1950.

The Niagara Frontier Transit System was replaced by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Corp (NFTA) in 1967, as part of New York State's efforts in the late 1960s and early 1970s at creating public agencies that would oversee the development and continuation of public transportation in a number of key urban areas of the state; other such agencies include the Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (RGRTA), the Central New York Transportation Authority (Centro), and the Capital Regional Transportation Authority (CDTA). NFTA purchased the street transportation rights from seven other private agencies, some of which include:

In the same period of time, the Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority, the Central New York Regional Transportation Authority and Capital District Transportation Authority were given similar arrangements for the city and surrounding areas they served.

General comments

Bus routes

Many of the routes in the City of Buffalo operate along nearly the same alignment of the previous International Railway Company's streetcar lines. After the elimination of streetcar service, many adjustments have been made in routing through Downtown Buffalo to allow better connections between routes connecting the city's east side and west side, with many of the routes operating through at least one of two of the major transfer points: the Buffalo Metropolitan Transportation Center at the corner of North Division and Ellicott Streets, and on Court Street between Niagara Square and Main Streets. The Buffalo Metropolitan Transportation Center is also the transfer point for inter-city bus service using Greyhound, Coach USA, or Greyhound Lines of Canada.

Although not exact, it is of note that the routes follow a certain numbering schematic.

When boarding a bus, the passenger is encouraged to note the following:

Since all buses now operate with electronic destination signs, a supplemental message may contain information if the trip diverts from the normal route, such as service into shopping plazas or particular communities.

It has been normal practice for each route to be given a separate timetable, which includes a map of the route on the front, fare and pass information on the back panel, and information on the times and days service is offered. Not all stops are listed in the timetables, but passengers can expect to see at least major transfer points and busy intersections.

Timetables are generally updated four times a year; mid-March, mid-June, early September and late December. Many Buffalo City schedules see a slight decrease in service in the month of June, since many public schools and colleges are on summer break. During the first Sunday of September (the week of Labor Day), service reverts to its previous levels.

Additionally, since March 1993, schedules have been color coded to the season they are effective so that one can easily identify if the schedule is current or not. Normally, red schedules note fall service, purple note winter service, green note spring service, and blue notes summer service. All schedules (whether noting changes or not) are issued new timetables each season.

Planned/future routes

The NFTA's original "Hublink" concept, now renamed "Metrolink", created a network of routes (numbered in the 200 and 300 series range) linking multiple transportation centers together, using smaller van sized buses. A minimum service standard was created, where buses were to operate on a frequent schedule through the day, effectively speeding passengers across the region. Additionally, circulator routes were to be created linking passengers with community-based service for a number of high-density areas that do not necessarily support normal city bus transit service.

2010 restructuring

In the middle part of 2009, the NFTA hired Transportation Management and Design,Inc. to begin a "Transit Service Restructuring and Fare Study", that could involve some of the largest changes that the riding public has seen since the previous major restructuring of March 1993.

Some of the fare proposals included reducing the number of fare zones to single zone, elimination of bus-to-bus transfers, and modifying the pricing of cash fares, monthly and daily passes.

On the serving modification side, more emphasis will be taken on urban services, primarily within the City of Buffalo. Service on primary corridors, such as those serving densely patronized routes will find an increase in service, to promote spontaneous usage. Lightly patronized routes may find reductions to fit ridership statistics, and allow the agency to more effectively use the buses on heavier patronized routes.

Approval of the plan was reached between TMD, Inc. and the NFTA executive board in late June, 2010, and the changes were implemented with a special later autumn schedule change on October 31, 2010.[30]

Fares/payments

Cash and passes

The NFTA operates on an "exact fare" system, in which drivers and operators do not make change.

There are three types of payments a passenger may make to ride the bus.

The current fare structure became effective from September 1, 2010 after operating with a zone fare system, in which passengers paid fares depending on the number of zones traveled per ride. In addition, transfers, which allowed passengers to continue their journey on multiple routes was discontinued, leaving a pay-per-boarding rate. The only exception to this rule is transferring between bus/rail or rail/bus, using a "proof-of-payment" coupon provided at the payment source.

Of particular note, the previous fare set-up was a four zone system, which replaced a more complex 12 fare zone system in September of 1988, the earlier in place since the NFTA assumed operations from the previous Niagara Frontier Transportation System.

College cooperative agreements

In recent years, the NFTA has aggressively pursued agreements with many local colleges and universities, using their "NFTA Unlimited Access" program. Under the program, students are offered semester passes that allow the user unrestricted travel on any NFTA regularly scheduled service, with the exception of Buffalo Bills Shuttles and Darien Lake Express service.

Erie Community College was the at the forefront of this service, and originally provided students a tri-campus shuttle linking the three campuses through the ECC Downtown Campus. Route 80 operated for approximately two calendar years, but service was eliminated, and students were given the opportunity to use alternate service on local bus routes.

Other colleges and universities included in the program are:

Buffalo State College, Medaille College and Canisius College also benefit from a special shuttle operating Friday and Saturday nights into Downtown Buffalo's Entertainment and Theater Districts, using Elmwood, the Scajaquada Expressway and Main Street. This route is designated as a "route 20E" service, and operates during school semesters only.

Bus and rail depots

All buses are stored at three depots:

Metro Rail trains are stored at one depot:

Past Depots:

Transportation (Intermodal) centers

Most buses operating to the city centers operate to or near:

Suburban transit centers

In addition, a number of transit centers were created in suburban locations to allow passengers to transfer between other routes in a coordinated location. Suburban transit centers operate with more amenities than typical loops used on many city routes. Suburban transit centers tend to be located on properties like shopping centers, and include separate shelters for each stop, pay telephones, schedule information, and possible restroom areas for drivers and agency employees.

Bus loops and terminals

Many loops serving as terminals for NFTA bus routes are properties that were originally created for the International Railway's streetcars to turn around in. The International Railway Company (IRC) was the primary predecessor to the Niagara Frontier Transit System (c. 1950), and ultimately, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (c. ~1972).

Light rail and rapid transit

Buffalo's first street railway began operations in 1832 with horse car routes on Pearl Street and Terrace operating to the Canada Ferry terminal. In 1860, the Buffalo Street Railway Company was established. Electric streetcars began operating in Buffalo in 1889 and the last horse car retired in 1894. In Niagara Falls village, the first electric cars began in 1883, In 1902, the International Railway Company was created from the merger of the Buffalo's first street railway operator and Buffalo Street Railway Company. The trolley service ended in 1950 and would not resume until construction of the present LRT began in 1979, opening on May 1, 1986.

The current 6.4 mile (10.3 km) line makes stops at: Erie Canal Harbor, Seneca, Church, Lafayette Square, Fountain Plaza, Theater, Allen-Medical Campus, Summer-Best, Utica, Delavan-Canisius College, Humboldt-Hospital, Amherst Street, LaSalle, and University. An additional station, called "Special Events" Station, sits just south of the current Erie Canal Harbor Station allowing passengers a shorter walk to the HSBC Arena. This station is only served during major events, such as hockey, concerts and sports related functions.

Future plans for the Metro Rail

See Citizens Regional Transit Corporation for more details.

The Citizens Regional Transit Corporation (CRTC) has continuously lobbied local and state politians to provide funding or support for extensions to the current one-line system.

A proposed Airport Corridor line follows the Division Street area, cutting through to the old New York Central Terminal around Jefferson Avenue, following old track bed through the CSX line between Walden and Broadway to Thruway Plaza, Galleria Mall and Buffalo Niagara Airport.

A proposed Tonawanda Corridor line follows the old Erie RR right-of-way (ROW) from LaSalle Station through to the Town and City of Tonawanda, and the City of North Tonawanda. This line has a number of branches; one operating through North Buffalo to Elmwood (known as the North Buffalo Branch), to Niagara Falls following the old New York Central Railroad's "Beeliner" service (known as the Niagara River Corridor) and to the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, using abandoned railroad right-of-ways (known as the Youngmann Branch).

These and many other proposals have hit various roadblocks, but the CRTC has not wavered in their support for these extensions. Lately, to the happiness of the groups members, a number of important political figures have shown their support.

LRV fleet details

Fleet refurbishment

Two cars (fleet numbers 114 and 123) were sent to Gray Manufacturing Industries in Hornell, New York in February of 2010 to undergo a complete refurbishment from top to bottom. GMI expects to return a car once each month, making the entire project last approximately two years to complete.

Among the items being refurbished, passengers will experience new seating, stanchions, electronic signage and new audio systems. Operation-wise, the shells of the car will be placed on refurbished trucks, with new wheels, gear boxes, overhauled traction motors, new pantographs, brakes and air compression systems.[31]

Corporate identity

Coloring and print media

The current color scheme (navy, grey and burgundy) first appeared on the 2000 series (Nova Bus LFS) coaches in early 2001. The color scheme met with approval on most sides. According to a past Buffalo News article, the colors and logo were chosen to link the area's "water" image with the company. The force of the Niagara River, and Niagara Falls contribute to the idea of the "wave" design that was chosen.

With the arrival of the 6000 series GMC RTS-04 buses in 1984, the NFTA's Metro system operated its vehicles using a color scheme of brown, yellow and orange (sometimes referred to as "earth tone" or "candy corn". This color scheme is easiest to recognize on many of the 9600 series coaches. As of 2007, this color scheme can now be found on only a handful of buses, as most of the buses featuring it have been either been re-painted in the new color scheme (see below) or retired. However, most of the Metro Rail trains still retain the old color scheme. It has been expected that the remaining cars will be painted in the newer livery upon their mid-life overhaul, originally expected to begin in 2007.

Further back, the Niagara Frontier Transit Metro System had worked with a yellow and black scheme (early 1970s), and a red and cream color scheme (1950-1960s). The International Railway Company, the predecessor to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Service used either an orange and black, or forest green and vermilion scheme for their vehicles.

The NFTA used a circular logo during the 1970s for the parent corporation, showing a nested combination of a bus, airplane, and ship. For the NFTA Metro system, a simple typeface, similar to blippo spelled out "metro bus". Towards the end of the 1990s a modified "M" in the same typeface, except with a "swoosh" style to the left of the letter. In 2000, the NFTA replaced its logo type with one similar to "Impact" in the italicized version. This style is present on all NFTA correspondence, including the NFTA Metro Bus and Rail system, the Greater Buffalo Niagara International Airport, the Niagara Falls International Airport, the NFTA Small Boat Harbor among others.
