10 Reasons to take TCAT

1. It’s Cheaper. No parking fees, no fuel costs, no parking tickets. Use your CU ID card at the fare box for unlimited rides on TCAT buses with OmniRide! New-to-Cornell students matriculating for the first time receive free, automatic OmniRide privileges valid within their first academic year. Returning students may purchase OmniRide, available from Cornell Transportation Services, 116 Maple Ave. or online at www.myparking.cornell.edu

2. One seat rIdes. Go farther without the hassle of transferring from one bus to another. We change the route sign and you stay on the bus. That means more time to do what you want without interruption.

3. parkIng spaCes. You won’t have to become a parking space stalker. Driving around hunting for a parking space is time consuming and stressful.

4. get tO knOw sOmeOne new. Going to parties isn’t the only way to meet people. Socializing on the bus is a great opportunity to network.

5. mOre Fun. Let TCAT be the designated driver.6. stay FIt. Walking to and from public transit can

help you get the recommended amount of daily exercise to maintain an active lifestyle and to avoid the “Freshman 15”.

7. parallel parkIng. On a hill at 1am. Enough said.8. relax. Leave the driving to TCAT and have time to

read, study, text, do the crossword, or listen to music 9. snOw. You won’t have dig your car out of a snow

bank or worry about getting home safely in a storm. less stress. Instead of getting frustrated with

traffic, you can get a jump on your homework.10.

How to Ride1. Plan your trip by using online tools and apps. Online: visit the MyStop Bus Tracker website at: realtimetcatbus.availtec.com/ Click on tables on left of screen to get information for routes, stops or to subscribe to alerts. Apps: Get the MyStop app or other apps on the App store or Google Play. Or you can see all the schedules at www.tcatbus.com/bus-schedules.

2. To interpret schedules look at the letters and their corresponding names in each column going across the schedule. These are timepoints that which show what times the bus picks up and drops off at major stops along any given bus route. If your stop is in between two timepoints, use the earlier time.

3. Determine the direction you are going. In general, outbound means away from downtown and inbound means heading toward downtown. Exceptions are routes that travel in a loop.

4. Make sure you arrive at your bus stop a few minutes before your scheduled departure time. TCAT bus stops are light blue with the TCAT logo, shown here.

5. Sometimes you will need to transfer buses to complete a single trip. When you board and pay the fare, ask your bus driver for a transfer slip to board the next bus without having to pay again. Make sure you time your transfers so that you will have time to board the next bus to your destination.

6. Select routes offer “one-seat” rides with one route changing into another route so there is no need to get off the bus to transfer. You can check if a route will change into another by looking at the far right column, which — if a one-seat ride — will say: “Continues at Route #”

Transfer Points

Sometimes you will need to take more than one bus to get to your destination. TCAT’s main hub is centered in downtown Ithaca with 4 major stops on either side of the Ithaca Commons. Many TCAT routes start, end, or pass through the Commons area so chances are good that you can make a connection from one of the Commons Stops. There are also hubs on Cornell Campus.
