After many years, I was finally able to make a sidetrip to Buffalo to ride the NFTA-Metro light rail ine, during a trip to Niagara Falls. The Sunday mid-afternoon ride was clean, refreshingly cool (great air conditioning on a hot humid day), fast, but short. I guess I thought the line was somewhat longer. There were not too many passengers riding that afternoon. I rode one train from Church to University, one train from University to Erie Canal Harbor and one train from Erie Canal Harbor back to Church. I rode all of the mileage except the one block between Erie Canal Harbor and Special Events Station. My NFTA one day all zone pass for $4.00 covered the fares for the route 40 bus from Niagara Falls to Buffalo and return, as well as the light rail line. Excellent value!
So now I can say I have ridden streetcars and LRT in revenue service in Baltimore MD, Boston MA, Buffalo NY, Calgary AB, Charlotte NC, Cleveland OH, New Jersey, New Orleans LA, Philadelphia PA, Pittsburgh PA, Portland OR, San Diego CA, San Francisco CA, Seattle WA and Toronto CA, plus a few museum lines and European cities.
