Same exceptional service. A new and improved reservation experience.

Cornell University's Campus-2-Campus (C2C) Bus Service is introducing a new online reservation system on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, making it easier than ever to plan and book travel between Cornell's Ithaca campus and New York City, including Weill Cornell Medicine.

The new platform provides a modern, mobile-friendly booking experience with convenient new features that give passengers more control over their travel plans. Whether you're a Cornell student, faculty or staff member, visiting family member, or member of the public, booking your next C2C trip will be easier and more convenient.

What's New?

The updated reservation system introduces several improvements:

• Choose Your Seat: View available seats and select your preferred seat directly during the booking process.
• Book for Multiple Passengers: Reserve seats for family members, friends, or colleagues in a single transaction.
• More Convenient Travel Planning: Easily browse available departure times, compare travel options, and choose the trip that best fits your schedule.
• Improved Account Management: View your upcoming reservations and access booking information from one convenient location.
• Mobile-Friendly Booking: Make reservations from your smartphone, tablet, or computer without downloading an app.
• Cornell Single Sign-On (SSO): Eligible Cornell students, faculty, and staff can sign in using their Cornell credentials to access affiliated ticket discounts.

What You Need to Know

Beginning November 4, two reservation options will be available based on your departure date:

• 2026 Travel Reservations: For trips departing in November or December 2026, including changes to existing reservations.
• 2027 Travel Reservations: For trips departing in 2027, with the new system supporting C2C trips beginning January 6.

A new account is required. All passengers will need to create an account when accessing the new reservation system for the first time, even if they have previously traveled with C2C.

Cornell-affiliated passengers should select "Continue with Sign in with Cornell SSO" to sign in using their Cornell credentials and receive eligible fare discounts. Passengers without a Cornell affiliation can create a standard account.

What Isn't Changing?

While we're improving how you book your trip, the C2C service you know remains the same. Existing schedules, ticket rates, service locations, and the comfortable executive motorcoach experience will continue.

Ready to Plan Your Next Trip?

Visit the Campus-to-Campus Bus Service website for reservation links, schedules, rates, frequently asked questions, and helpful resources.

For assistance, please visit C2C Customer Service or call 607-254-8747.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard, while we continue Keeping Cornell on the Move.

Starting immediately, passengers departing from the Cornell Club should board on 5th Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets. Ongoing construction at Madison Avenue and East 44th Street has significantly impacted access to the current stop, making it difficult for buses to safely pull over and load passengers. This temporary location will remain in effect until further notice.

Effective immediately, C2C will no longer provide after-hours support. If you are looking to purchase or modify your C2C ticket, kindly visit the C2C website. For further assistance, please contact C2C via phone at 607-254-8747 or via email at C2Cbus@Cornell.Edu and a representative will promptly contact you during normal business hours. 

**DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION IN A VOICEMAIL OR SEND VIA EMAIL**

Effective October 10, 2024, C2C passengers parking in the B Lot will be exempt from parking fees. To claim this benefit, kindly submit an email to c2cbus@cornell.edu, providing your License Plate Number and a detailed description of your vehicle. Additionally, please include the dates for which you intend to park. We kindly request that you park your vehicles as close to the Bus Shelter as possible.

We appreciate your continued patronage of Campus-to-Campus services.

Expanded Access to EV Charging on Campus & New Fee Structure Starting July 1, 2025

Electric vehicles (EVs) are quickly becoming a more popular and sustainable mode of transportation. As adoption increases, so does the demand for accessible and reliable charging options. At Cornell, the Transportation Department is committed to supporting this transition through continued investment in campus charging infrastructure.

Currently, there are 12 Level 2 ChargePoint EV chargers available on campus. However, with growing usage, the existing structure is no longer able to meet demand. In support of Cornell’s sustainability goals and to improve availability for all users—including students, employees, and visitors—the Transportation Department will implement a new fee structure beginning July 1, 2025.

What’s Changing?

The updated pricing model is designed to:

• Improve turnover and reduce EV idling time at chargers
• Expand access for more users
• Support ongoing maintenance and future infrastructure improvements
   

New Charging Rates Effective July 1, 2025:

Active Permit Holders: $3.50 per hour – Standard rate for locations requiring an annual parking permit; This flat rate applies if you hold a valid annual permit where the charger is located.
Non-Permit Users in High-Demand and Permit Required Areas: An additional $3.00 per hour ParkMobile fee will apply on top of the $3.50/hr. charging rate.
Free Parking Zones: Only the $3.50/hr. charging fee applies—no additional parking fees.
 

These changes aim to make EV charging more efficient and equitable, while enhancing the overall experience for our campus community and guests.

Thank you for supporting a greener future and keeping Cornell on the move.
