Cataract Tours to Offer Bus Service to Bills Game

Frank “Chick” D’Agostino fills the gap: His Cataract tours will take Bills fans to see the Bills and Titans play in Orchard Park.

With the NFTA cutting back on bus service to Orchard Park for Bills’ games, many people who used to ride from the Factory Outlet Mall in Niagara Falls to the stadium have been left out in the cold when it comes to a ride to the game.

But beginning on Sunday, fans who want to avoid all the stadium traffic and take a bus to see the Bills play will have that option. Chick D’Agostino, the owner of Cataract Tours based at the One Niagara building, will be offering bus service to the stadium from the Summit Park Mall beginning at 10 a.m. on Sunday for the game against the Titans.

“I think we’ll have enough buses available to handle whatever demand there may be,” said D’Agostino. “The price will be $20 for a round-trip ticket and folks can call Cataract Tours at 432-1816 (Tom Kerr) to get a seat. I’m offering this as a service to the people out there who want to get to the games but can’t now that NFTA bus service is not available. We’ll see how it goes.”

Henry Sloma, the NFTA vice chairman, said the transit agency has gotten out of the business of ferrying people to the Bills games, stating “we have limited resources and we have to use those resources in the smartest way we can.”

So for $20, folks can book a bus tour to game on Cataract Tours and not miss out on any game day action at the stadium and avoid weaving through the traffic to and from the game.
