Route 751 - Fort Erie Community Bus service launching April 27

10 April 2026

Community bus service will return to Fort Erie on Monday, April 27, 2026, with the launch of Route 751 – Fort Erie Community Bus.

Route 751 was built using Niagara Transit Plus trip data, which helped identify how people in Fort Erie already travel for everyday needs like getting to work, school and appointments. The new route provides a dependable, hourly schedule for local travel, giving residents a bus service they can count on as part of their routine.

The route extends regional Route 22, supporting local travel within Fort Erie while connecting to the broader Niagara Transit network. Niagara Transit Plus will continue to be available for customers who live outside the route area, and for those who need specialized transit service.

FAQ

Route 751 is a new community bus route serving Fort Erie. It starts Monday, April 27, 2026, and operates on a consistent route and schedule so riders know when and where to expect the bus.

No. Niagara Transit Plus is not being replaced, but with the launch of Route 751, Fort Erie now uses both types of transit service, and the service you use depends on where your trip takes place.

If your trip is within the area served by Route 751, you will travel using the scheduled Fort Erie Community Bus. This provides regular, reliable bus service along the route shown on the map.

If your trip is outside the Route 751 service area, you will continue to use Niagara Transit Plus (microtransit). Microtransit remains in place for areas not served by the bus route and for trips that need flexible service. 

The maps show where Route 751 operates and where Niagara Transit Plus is used. Together, both services work as one system to make sure each trip is served by the most appropriate option.

No. Niagara Transit Plus (specialized) is not being replaced.

Niagara Transit Plus (specialized) will continue to provide door‑to‑door service for customers who are registered and eligible. If you use specialized transit today, your service and eligibility are not changing.

If you live outside the Route 751 area, you can continue to use Niagara Transit Plus. In some cases, your trip may include a connection to Route 751 at a transit hub.

Niagara Transit is a multimodal system, which means microtransit and bus service work together to get you where you need to go.

If your destination is along Route 751, Niagara Transit Plus will take you to a hub, where you’ll connect to the community bus. The bus will then carry you to your destination using its scheduled route. This helps the bus serve the areas it’s designed for, while microtransit focuses on trips that need more flexibility.

If your destination is not on the bus route, Niagara Transit Plus will continue to take you directly to where you’re going.

By working together, both services help make sure you have reliable, efficient transit, no matter where you’re travelling in Fort Erie.

Transit hubs are key transfer locations where microtransit services and bus services connect.

Fort Erie transit hubs are located at:

  • Fort Erie Town Hall/Leisureplex
  • Fort Erie Smart Centre
  • Fort Erie Centennial Library

To give you the most efficient and flexible travel options, you may sometimes see different trip choices. The system looks at how close you are to each hub and compares the total travel time for each option. This allows it to suggest different hubs for different trips, depending on where you are travelling and what works best at the time.

Yes. Route 751 extends regional Route 22, connecting Fort Erie to the wider Niagara Transit network. Connections to Niagara Transit Plus are available at hubs.

No. You only pay once for your trip.

Your fare includes a transfer that’s valid for two hours, so you can move between Niagara Transit services and travel in any direction during that time without paying again.
