Niagara Frontier Transit System

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Niagara Frontier Transit System is a former public transportation carrier for Buffalo, New York and the surrounding Western New York region. The Niagara Frontier Transit System began operations June 1, 1950, as a reorganization of the International Railway Company, it's predecessor. It was succeeded in 1974 by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.

History

Organized in 1947, the Niagara Frontier Transit Commission was created to begin the process of taking over services of the then bankrupt International Railway Company. In 1950, the Niagara Frontier Transit System completed the entire process, and the International Railway Company faded into history.

Within a one-month period of assuming operations of the IRC, the NFTS switched to an all-bus system, with the final three streetcar lines completing conversion the afternoon of July 1, 1950. The last streetcar lines were the 4-Broadway, 23-Fillmore, and 24-Genesee lines, operating from the Broadway barns. Only a few weeks earlier, in the afternoon of June 17, the 8-Main, 9-Parkside and 13-Kensington streetcar lines were the final three lines to operate from the Cold Springs (Main & Michigan) barns to be converted to buses.

At the completion of streetcar service, the NFTS transported the remaining derelict cars to their Hertel and Military Road garage, where they were stripped and burned.

In 1961, another major step with the NFTS was realized with purchasing and merging operations of the Buffalo Transit Company into the NFTS operations, creating the catalyst for the start of a regional transit system.

On April 2, 1974, the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority began the merging of the NFTS with six other agencies to create a truly regional publicly owned authority, on direction from the New York State Legislature. Other companies figuring into the merger were Niagara Falls Municipal Transit System (on May 12), Lockport Bus Lines (March 15, 1975), Tonawanda-North Tonawanda Transit (October, 1974), and the line-run operations of Grand Island Transit (April 20, 1975), Niagara Scenic Bus Lines and D&F Transit (September 15, 1974).

Timeline of important events

This section is incomplete, you can help!

  • 1947: The Niagara Frontier Transit Commission was created to begin the takeover of assets of the bankrupt International Railway Company.
  • 1950: On June 1, 1950, the Niagara Frontier Transit System takes over the assets of the International Railway Company. The Niagara Frontier Transit System inherited a fleet of 729 buses and 175 streecars.[1] On June 17, streetcars on the Main, Parkside and Kensington lines removed from service. On July 1, the last three streetcar of the Broadway, Fillmore and Genesee lines are removed from service. From that point forward, the Niagara Frontier Transit System became an "all bus" operated agency. At the end of streetcar service, streetcars were towed to a previous depot on Military Road at Hertel, stripped of metal, and incinerated.
  • 1952-1965: The Niagara Frontier Transit System won Fleet Owner magazine's Maintenance Efficiency Award 12 times, with ten years being consecutive.[2]
  • 1954: NFTA begins radio-dispatching on their coaches.
  • 1956: First air-conditioned buses arrive.
  • 1959: Express service to Downtown Buffalo begins on routes 2 Clinton, 15 Seneca and 16 South Park.
  • 1960: Fleet number 1000 built in-house, in hopes of the NFTS producing their own buses. The prototype bus featured, a weight-saving Hino diesel engine, coupled to a smooth-shifting European manufactured hydraulic transmission. Flxible provided a full-vision windshield. Although the bus proved to be an engineering and operational success, the NFTS opted to not begin large-scale production.[3]
  • 1961: NFTS takes over assets of the Buffalo Transit Company for $1.1 million. The acquisition plants the seed for a single agency operating all aspects of public transit service to the region.
  • 1962: Owl service (overnight) is discontinued on 18 routes.
  • 1963: Buffalo Transit Company officially merges with NFTS. All 36 and 45 passenger buses are sold to other agencies such as the Baltimore Transit Company, Memphis Area Transit Authority and Waukegan-North Chicago Transit Company.
  • 1964: On December 31, NFTS surrenders Niagara Falls bus service to City of Niagara Falls Municipal Transit System, beginning service the following day. All gas-powered Twin Coach buses retire on December 31, too.
  • 1965: Buffalo Transit Company suburban routes complete merging with NFTS city bus routes.
  • 1969: NFTS has summertime labor strike, eliminating service for 42 days. Since the strike, passenger ridership dropped from 66 million riders/yr to 33 million in 1973.
  • 1973: NFTS and the NFTA enter serious negotiations into the sale of the NFTS to the NFTA.
  • 1974: On January 29, the NFTS accepts the offer of the NFTA to purchase the NFTS. NFTS surrenders assets to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, after a purchase costing $9,676,000 on April 1, 1974.

Routes

Upon the takeover of the International Railway Company in 1950, the NFTS eliminated streetcar service in its first year of operation and modified a few routes to the route network.

Operating Divisions

The Niagara Frontier Transit System operated seven divisions, the Cold Spring division, the Forest division (closed in 1956), the Hertel division (closed in 1954), the Broadway divison, the Frontier division, Niagara Falls division and Main/Virginia division.

As of present, two divisions remain; the Cold Spring division and the Frontier division. A third division, the Gisel/Wolford division, replaced the Broadway division when it closed in the 1980's at the time the Gisel/Wolford division opened.
