Erie Canal Harbor (formerly Auditorium until September 1, 2003) is a Buffalo Metro Rail station located in the 100 block of Main Street (just north of Hanover and Scott Streets) next to the former Buffalo Memorial Auditorium in the Free Fare Zone, which allows passengers free travel between the Erie Canal Harbor Station and Fountain Plaza Station. Passengers continuing past Fountain Plaza Station are required to provide proof-of-payment. Unless there are events occurring at First Niagara Center, at which point Special Events Station is utilized, this is the southern terminus of Metro Rail. Since Erie Canal Harbor Station serves as a terminal, immediately north is a double crossover. Erie Canal Harbor Station is one of only two stations that are the closest to the Amtrak Exchange Street Station located on Exchange Street between Washington and Oak Streets beneath Interstate 190 (the other being Seneca Station, located 1,584 feet north).
