[edit] Operations

Potential for growth of public transit is limited as most tourists come by car or tour buses. 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. Niagara Falls Taxi, from their bright yellow appearance is the most visible taxi carrier in the Niagara region.

Niagara Transit offers three shuttle bus routes, the Brock Rapid, Niagara College/Glendale Campus and Falls Shuttle. The Brock Rapid and Niagara College shuttles operate during the academic school year at individual colleges, and the Falls Shuttle operates from early May to late October to service those visiting Niagara Falls during the peak tourist season. These services carry a premium fare charge, but in many cases will allow you to connect to regular services offered by Niagara Transit.
