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 is the most visible taxi carrier in the Niagara region, due to their bright yellow appearance. Another taxi carrier is 5-0 taxi, recognized by their white taxis with different shaded blue stripes on the sides of their vehicles.
5-0 is also a carrier that provides service from the Fallsview Casino and Downtown Niagara Falls area to Niagara-on-the-Lake, using a motor coach. Service operates year-round, but with a dramatically reduced schedule during winter months.
Niagara Falls Transit offers five shuttle bus routes, the Brock Rapid, Niagara College/Glendale Campus, Niagara College/Welland Campus, Fort Erie to Niagara Falls and Falls Shuttle. The Brock Rapid, Niagara College and Fort Erie shuttles operate during the academic school year, 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 Falls Transit.
Chair-A-Van carries disabled passengers on Niagara Falls Transit.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
“Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
