Megabus comes to Ithaca!
Megabus is now selling tickets on the Coach USA/Short Line service between Ithaca and NYC. Fares start at $1.00 each way, plus a $2.50 booking fee.
For many years, Megabus has sold tickets on the Binghamton-NYC portion of the Ithaca-NYC bus, and Ithaca passengers would have to purchase a separate ticket between Ithaca and Binghamton if one wanted to take advantage of a low Megabus fate between Binghamton and NYC. Now, a single Megabus ticket will cover the whole trip.

Most Short Line trips take about five hours, compared to about four hours for Cornell's expensive Campus 2 Campus service, and the somewhat less expensive and newish Big Red Bullet service which runs nonstop between downtown Ithaca and Bryant Park.
