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- 57 City of Niagara Falls and Niagara County routes
- 60- 81 Express routes from Downtown Buffalo
- 90- 97 Special event routes to Buffalo Bills, Darien Lake
- 101-118 Buffalo Public School routes
- 200-216 Metrolink routes
Famous quotes containing the words bus and/or routes:
“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
