Niagara Region Transit after 2023-25 Consolidation

In 2025, Niagara Region unified multiple local transit systems into a single network, Niagara Region Transit (NRT), simplifying fares and coverage. This chapter explains what changed and how to use NRT efficiently.

Understanding the Current NRT System

What's new:

As of July 2025, all NRT routes use a single cash fare of $3.50, replacing older local and regional tiers.

Passes are now valid system-wide: a 31‑day pass, or a 10‑ride pass, covers any regular NRT service, including Transit Plus vehicles for those eligible (2025 GM's Annual Report).

NRT covers Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Welland, Port Colborne, and connects with outlying communities.

Limitations and key facts:

NRT passes and fares are not valid on WEGO or GO.

No formal cross‑fare or transfer program exists between NRT and WEGO (Fares - Niagara Region Transit).
