Learn moreA real, current Amtrak station
The Niagara Falls Amtrak station, opened December 2016, serves Amtrak's Maple Leaf and Empire Service lines as well as Canada's VIA Rail -- a genuine, practical intercity and cross-border rail connection.
A modest in-city airport
Niagara Falls International Airport (IAG) offers genuinely more limited commercial service than a major hub; most travelers instead use Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF), approximately 20 miles away.
NFTA bus service
Niagara Falls is part of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's (NFTA) service area, the same regional transit authority documented in this project's companion buffalo.js record.
