Transit

The bus is a community-friendly, “green,” and relatively low-cost way to get around — while you chat, read, answer emails, or just relax. Below are local transit resouces, as well as the 511NY Rideshare Transit Trip Planner.

Transit Trip Planner

The map below makes it easy to plan a route using public transportation. Enter a start location and end destination, and the map does the rest. If you want to get directions for a different time or date or if you want directions by bike, click the Show Settings icon and fill in the appropriate fields. You can even find the best route when you combine biking and public transportation. This service is currently available for CDTA routes.
