Ithaca College Audition Visit

I posted the question below on the parent page, and it was suggested to me that I post this on the music page as well. This question is aimed at anyone who might have knowledge of the town and be able to tell me how to get around town without a car! …

I am sending my D to audition for the music program at Ithaca. I need advice on how to help her get from airport to hotel and to restaurants on her own. Everywhere else she is traveling has Uber or Lyft. Does anyone have experience trying to get around Ithaca using taxi services/shuttles? She has to be there for two nights.

I’ve always had a car in Ithaca, but it’s a small and friendly town. Uber and Lyft should be fine. She should make it a point to walk around Ithaca Commons if she has the chance. Good luck!

Uber and Lyft are not available in Ithaca, but we have worked out the logistics. So, hopefully it will all go smoothly! It’s been a lot of planning for this one visit !

For getting around town, use the T-CAT (the public bus system). Routes are online. My daughter is a senior at Ithaca and uses it all the time.

Thanks. I just wasn’t sure it would link to the hotel and campus, and I wasn’t sure she had enough time to figure it out on her own with flying in and out, etc! It does look like a good system.

The TCAT is pretty great.
