NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. — Niagara County's bus service 'Connect Niagara' will be waiving bus fare fees for a week starting on July 1.
In waiving the fees, it will give riders the opportunity to checkout the bus rides for free and try it out if they have not yet. Connect Niagara was formally known as Rural Transportation.
“We want our residents to see how convenient this service is to get anywhere in our region, especially with our free transfers to other Connect Niagara routes, NFTA buses and tourism shuttles,” said Garret Meal, Commissioner of DPW. “So we are waving bus fares next week to encourage people to give it a try.”
The bus service operates across Niagara County with five different routes and stops. The regular fare is $2.00 on route and $4.00 off route.

“If you are regular user of the service, I encourage you to review the schedule as we have made a few tweaks as we continue to try to adjust to our ridership,” said Meal. “If you are new to the service, I think you will be surprised at how extensive the service is. This is truly a hidden gem in our transportation system.”
