Rail

Amtrak Serves Buffalo at two stations, the Downtown Station (also called Exchange Street Station, Amtrak code BFX) and the Depew Station (Amtrak code BUF). The Exchange Street Station is more convenient for Downtown access, but the station itself barely exists. The Depew Station is larger, but East of the city a bit. Also, Amtrak trains (today, only the Lake Shore Limited) that run between Chicago and NYC only stop at the Depew Station. All other trains stop at both stations. You can also get to and from Toronto on Amtrak, or using the Canadian rail system, VIA Rail, from Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Buffalo also has a terrific Art Deco Railway Station, Central Terminal, built by the New York Central Railroad, that is currently unused. It is a fantastic building that opened the year of the stock market crash in 1929. It is now owned by a nonprofit organization, Central Terminal Restoration Corporation (CTRC).

Rail travel is comfortable, relaxing, and really THE way to travel.

Air

The Buffalo-Niagara International Airport is a modern, sleek building that is a pleasant airport.

Local Transit

Buffalo is served by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA). It operates busses, shuttles, and the Metro Rail subway system. While the subway should be expanded to the UB North campus and the Airport, it currently runs between the UB South Campus and Downtown (Erie Canal Harbor, or HSBC Arena for special events).
