Metro Rail expansion

According to a Business First-Goldhaber Research poll, a clear majority of WNY residents favors an expansion of Metro Rail out to the airport. Not just Buffalonians, and not just Metro users - but a majority of all WNYers.

Metro Rail, originally proposed as a 29-mile subway system with 47 stations, opened in 1985 as a six-mile link between Buffalo Memorial Auditorium and the University at Buffalo's South Campus. Creation of a second line has been discussed during the past 20 years, but the NFTA has not formally committed itself to expansion.

C'mon NFTA. Get your heads out of the sand and do something.
