ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – A bus stop is changing in Ithaca.
Effective today, Nov. 9, OurBus has relocated its downtown Ithaca stop from East Seneca Street to 235 South Cayuga Street, right next to the S. Cayuga Street Parking Garage.
The city is working with the transit company to install signage and benches at the new stop, which is just a few blocks from the Commons. It will offer riders more connections to TCAT buses, more parking, and better accessibility.
“We’ve been connecting Ithaca travelers to New York City and beyond for nearly a decade, and we know how important convenient access to downtown is for our passengers,” said OurBus Co-Founder Axel Hellman. “While the stop is changing, our commitment to serving Ithaca isn’t. We appreciate the city’s cooperation in helping make the transition as smooth as possible.”
As part of the city’s larger initiative to improve the bus rider experience, TCAT is making several route changes today as well.
As of today:
- TCAT Route 10 will remain on N. Tioga St.
- 1st E. Seneca St. stop is relocating roughly 60 yards east from the corner of N. Cayuga St. to the area between Dewitt Mall and Tompkins Financial. This stop will serve TCA routes 11, 11S, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20, 21, 31W, 40, 43, 51, 52, 65, and 67.
- 2nd E. Seneca St. stop is relocating to the corner of E. Seneca St. and N. Tioga St., now the intercity bus location. This stop will serve high-frequency TCAT routes 30, 30W, and 90
