Method #1: Bus

Bussing, in my opinion, is the cheapest option. As Cornell students, it is free to take the TCAT bus on weekends! On weekdays, it is free after 6PM or else there is a fee of $1.50. Here are some of my suggestions:

From Collegetown: Take #30 or #70 from Schwartz Performing Arts Center to Ithaca Commons Seneca Street (~10 minutes).

From West campus: Take #70 or #72 from Baker Flagpole to Ithaca Commons Seneca Street (~15 minutes)

From North campus: Take #70 or #72 from RPCC to Ithaca Commons Seneca Street (~20 minutes)

Method #2: Drive

If you have a car or are going with someone who has a car, park in one of Green, Seneca, and Cayuga Street garages and walk to the Apple Harvest Festival. There is a flat fee festival rate inside garages of $5.00 all day. There is no re-entry. The garages are equipped with accessible parking and elevators. Street parking is also available. Free on Saturday and Sunday. Click here for parking information.

Method #3: Uber/Lyft

I frequently use this option when I have a group of 4-6 friends going. Take Uber X or Lyft if there are 4 of you. Take Uber XL if there are 6 of you. The fee depends on what time of the day you go. This is the most expensive option. It may cost around $1-5 for each person, totaling around $10-15 for one group.
