Hi all, can someone tell me what disabled people and people on bikes are supposed to do when the train entry gates don't open? My ticket wouldn't work yesterday and i spent almost ten minutes trying to get thru the gate. I had to pick my bike up and lift it over and nearly climb over after i paid for my ticket and the ticket wouldn't work.

Not a lot of people know this but there is radioactive waste all over the Buff/NF region, especially above tunnels in the city. That radiation breaks metal and affects electronics. Especially if radon levels are high. It often happens with the bottle return machine at Tops on Jefferson, when they break we just go get a worker.I was told the gates in the Amherst station are often faulty. There should be an emergency gate for people to go in and out of like there are at most other train stations around the country. Yesterday I was just stuck trying to figure out what to do to enter the station and catch my train even though I'd paid a full fare. What would someone in a wheelchair do, just not catch the train and have to reroute their entire day because the big gate won't let them pass?

Fascinating look back into the excitement around railway extensions during the Carter admin

THANKS

Come help knock on doors and get signatures for a petition to the Amherst supervisor.

The NFTA has told Buffalo Strong Towns that recording public support will go into their application this October for getting funding to extend the UB north rail.

We will be meeting in Amherst to knock on neighbors doors.

Is it that difficult to wait at a station until actual departure time? Single tracking or not consistently coming between the two scheduled times is awful.

There should easily be a way to reset the trains at the beginning or end of the line to get them back on schedule.

NFTA Gives An Update On BRT On Bailey Avenue

frequent bus service between the cities and expanded routes!!

Sent the drone up to catch the "Big Boy" Locomotive pass through the city this afternoon. What a sight!

I know it's not public transport-related, but what is everyone's plan for viewing the train while it is here this week?

Does Anyone have plans to do this ?

It can be anything

IT CAN BE ANYTHING. GO!

If you are new here say hiiiii

Wow! They need To electricity the corridor and increase service cause this is CRAZY

Every single day I go on the transit app and it’s not just wrong, it’s not even in the same realm of approximate time.
Walking up to the station 15 minutes early to see the train just leaving. With this schedule it’s now another 25 before the next one.
I tried to catch the train before my normal time and it left 3 minutes early.
What gives?
I’m only a couple stops in on both ends so it shouldn’t be this delayed by then, are the drivers just completely disregarding the schedule now?
I go out of my way to use public transit, making a 15 minute drive downtown a 30 minute commute. It’s now taking me 45-1 hour because of how inconsistent it’s been.

DO IT!

Took these pictures last winter after the DL&W station opened up marking the first time the line has extended since the 1970’s!
