How does the program work? your college ID is valid for unlimited use of Metro Bus and Rail services free of charge. Simply board any Metro Bus and swipe the pass in the fare box. It’s that easy. You won’t need to swipe your pass when riding Metro Rail. However, your pass will be subject to visual inspection at any time while on the system by Metro staff or NFTA Police.
May someone else use my pass for transit? No, your pass belongs to you and is only valid for you to use. The pass is non-transferable.
What happens if I lose my transit pass? If you lose your pass, contact the Office of Public Safety immediately.
What happens if I am riding Metro Rail and I don’t have my transit pass? If you are riding the Metro Rail system, your pass is subject to visual inspection as proof of fare payment. If you do not have your pass, you could be charged with fare evasion, which carries a stiff financial penalty. Be smart and carry the pass with you at all times.
How do I use Metro Bus and Rail? Metro Bus and Rail serves the greater Buffalo and Niagara regions. For information on the system, check out the rest of the Metro website, featuring a new Trip Planner (on this page, to your left.)
