When the station opened, bus routes were modified to stop on one of the three sides of the station. Route 32 buses heading to Niagara Street are the only buses that do not board at a curb on the same side as the station.

Artwork
In 1979, an art selection committee was created, comprised of NFTA commissioners and Buffalo area art experts, that would judge the artwork that would be displayed in and on the properties of eight stations on the Metro Rail line.
Out of the seventy proposals submitted, twenty-two were chosen and are currently positioned inside and outside of the eight underground stations.[Buffalo Art in Transit, Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, c. 1986.] ]Amherst Station is home of three pieces of work, from Aleksandra Kasuba (New York City), Ray Hassard (Buffalo) and Robert Lobe (New York City).
