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.
