CHEEKTOWAGA — The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority has announced service to the new Walmart store in Cheektowaga. With a Metro Bus stop directly on Walmart property, bus passengers will not have to cross Walden Avenue to shop.

Kimberley Minkel, executive director, NFTA said, “We are very pleased that Walmart, the Town of Cheektowaga and the NFTA came together to provide a safe and effective solution for the many workers and customers who use public transportation.”

Metro Bus Route 46 will stop at Walmart several times a day, seven days a week. Walmart is constructing a bus shelter to further convenience transit users and plans to have it completed in June.
