Campus to Campus Bus Support

Campus to campus bus outside

The Campus-to-Campus (C2C) Bus Service operated by Cornell Transportation Services will ease into operations with a reduced-frequency daily service limited to members of the Cornell community. While C2C hopes to offer free transportation assistance to employees for purposes of health care and other emergencies in the future, requests for such tickets are not being accepted at this time.

Cornell University Transportation Services provides round-trip bus tickets on the Campus-to-Campus Bus to current employees (and one caregiver/companion), free of charge, for purposes of health care and other emergencies. To request a ticket, complete a Travel Assistance Form. After completing the form, you will be contacted by a ticket coordinator. 

Contact Information:

For questions regarding your ticket request or assistance with exploring travel options for medical needs, contact Work/Life at worklife@cornell.edu.

For questions regarding Campus-to-Campus Bus operations, contact Cornell Transportation at C2Cbus@cornell.edu or 607-254-8747.

There are three locations for pick up in NYC and three locations for drop off in Ithaca. Please look for the Campus-to-Campus sign to confirm that you are waiting at the right location.

  • Cornell Club: Located at 6 East 44th Street, between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue. Due to traffic and limited access, there are times that the bus may pick up or drop off passengers a short distance away from the club. We make every effort to notify passengers should the stop location change.

  • F Train to Tech Campus: The stop location is 64th Street and 3rd Avenue, in front of Tony’s Di Napoli Restaurant.

Pick-up/Drop-off Times

Visit the Campus-to-Campus Bus website for current bus schedule options.

Plan on arriving at your stop at least ten minutes early; this will not only ensure that you don't miss the bus, but will allow the driver time to get your belongings aboard, and will allow you time to get settled.

The drivers are directed, to the best of their ability, to leave their stops on time. They will not leave a stop early, even if no one is expected there.

The traveler is considered a "No-show" if they do not board, and the bus has departed the last stop from NYC or Ithaca without them.

  • The entire amount originally charged is retained by C2C and the trip is forfeited.
  • Missing a departure trip does not automatically cancel the associated return.
  • It is the traveler’s responsibility to make any changes or cancellations
