<p>Hi, I'm flying to NYC airport and then to Ithaca.</p>

<p>To go from NYC to Cornell, I'm booking the Shortline bus online.
It says we need to exchange printed ticket for a real ticket from an agent. Is there an agent at Port Authority Bus Terminal?</p>

<p>The online booking only shows the date, not time of day for the ride. Does that mean we can take any bus ride at any time during the day?</p>

<p>Should I book in advance online or just buy ticket at Port Authority Bus Terminal on the day of departure? Will tickets run out? </p>

<p>You will be able to take any bus that day. Short line is cheaper, but there is no guarantee of a seat. We live in NYV, my kid takes campus to campus bus to and from NYC. It is run by Cornell, more expensive, but you get assigned seat. </p>

<p>Thanks, do you know if greyhound has assigned seating?</p>

<p>Greyhound does not assign seats. I don’t know why you would need to buy your ticket beforehand. Why not buy it when you get to the bus station. </p>

<p>I’m worried the bus tickets may run out to Ithaca since I may be arriving 8/23-8/24, right before orientation 8/25 and start of classes on 8/26. Do the bus tickets never run out?</p>

<p>Shouldn’t you be arriving 8/22?</p>

7

<p>why? my orientation is on 8/25, although apt opens 8/22? Is there something about 8/22?</p>

<p>Your orientation starts 8/23 for new students. Most students show up on 8/21 or 8/22. Check out page 15 to see the schedule.<br>
