Niagara Falls Transit Page

Niagara Falls, Ontario, is one of the most famous cities in Canada. Home to about 82,000 people, Niagara Falls is host to 14,000,000 visitors every year. Bus service in the city is provided by Niagara Falls Transit, which operates a fleet of 28 buses, including NovaBus LFS, ElDorado EZ Rider II Max, and Orion V and VII buses, along with some minibuses used on low-ridership routes. In addition to regular bus service, Niagara Falls Transit also operates three WEGO routes, which link the major tourist attractions with the major bus terminals, and the Brock Bullet, which both carries students to Brock University in St. Catharines and allows Niagara Falls Transit users to transfer to St. Catharines Transit and Welland Transit.

	A line of retired buses as seen beside the Niagara Transit garage on Bridge Street on May 26, 2004. From left to right, there are a Grumman 870, a Flxible Metro and two GM New Looks. Niagara Transit started purchasing air-conditioned New Look buses in 1974, making the agency one of the few Canadian transit systems to have done so.
	8156 was a 1981 GM T8H-5307A, formerly San Diego Transit 962 acquired in 1997. It is shown inside the Niagara Transit garage with an unidentified Classic on May 26, 2004.
