Are there any train stations in or around Ithaca NY?

Question

I don't have a car, but I have something I NEED to be in Ithaca for in a few weeks...

Is there any train or bus that goes from Albany NY to somewhere around Ithaca? Do you know where the closest train station to Ithaca is? Thanks.

Answer 1

You can't get to Ithaca by train.  The closest Amtrak station to Ithaca is Syrcause, which is quite some distance away.

There is bus service between Albany and Ithaca, though, operated by CoachUSA/ShortLine that should meet your needs.  Here's a link to their website:
