Overview

NFTA Metro carried many of its present route numbers and names from the previous International Railway Company routes. Otherwise, much of the routing follows (loosely) the following number schematic:

• 1-49 City of Buffalo and Erie County routes
• 50-59 City of Niagara Falls and Niagara County routes
• 60-81 Express routes to/from Downtown Buffalo
• 90-97 Special event routes
• 101-118 School bus routes
• 200-216 Metrolink routes

The routes recently underwent a major revamping. Gone are the original "A" designations to "City Line". Replacing them are destinations to general areas as noted in the listings.
