WEGO Visitor Transportation System (WEGO) is a bus system in Niagara Falls, Ontario jointly operated by Niagara Region Transit (formerly Niagara Falls Transit before 2023) and the Niagara Parks Commission. It replaced Niagara Falls Transit's Falls Shuttle, as well as the Niagara Parks Commission People Mover. Originally scheduled to launch on June 29, 2012, the service's inauguration was postponed due to delays in its buses' intelligent transportation system. WEGO launched its preview service on August 13, 2012, then finally began official operations, a week later, on August 20.[1] WEGO is a pairing of the words "we" and "go". WEGO is not an acronym for anything, however.[2]
Fares are accurate as of September 2024.

Connections between the local Niagara Region Transit service and WEGO require separate fares. WEGO pass holders transferring to Niagara Region Transit must pay a Niagara Region Transit fare. Niagara Region Transit transfers are not valid on WEGO.[3] [4] [5]
WEGO also connects with inter-regional transit customers using GO Transit, VIA Rail, and Coach Canada via the Green Line. GO Transit stations along the Niagara excursion train sell WEGO passes when the train is in operation. At Fort George National Historic Site, connection is available to Niagara-on-the-Lake Transit's Heritage-Old Town route.
WEGO has a fleet of 20 articulated (60 ft) and 7 standard (40 ft) buses, wrapped in a WEGO livery. All vehicles are owned by Niagara Region Transit, who leases them to the Niagara Parks Commission to operate on the Green line, Blue line, and the Niagara-on-the-Lake shuttle. Niagara Region Transit used to operate certain lines using WEGO buses, until an agreement was ended in August 2024.[6] [7]
