Metro Rail is the public transit rail system in Buffalo, New York, operated by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA). The system consists of a single, 6.4-mile-long (10.3 km) light rail line that runs for most of the length of Main Street (New York State Route 5) from the new DL&W Station in Canalside, to the south campus of the University at Buffalo in the northeast corner of the city. The first section of the line opened in October 1984 as the state's only rail transit system outside of New York City after Rochester's was abandoned in June 1956. The system as originally planned was completed in November 1986 and expanded for the first time in December 2025. In 2025, the system had a ridership of 2,453,100, or about 11,800 per weekday as of the second quarter of 2026.
