As Ithaca is a college town, bus service by TCAT Tompkins County Area Transit (http://www.tcatbus.com/) is frequent and runs late into the night. Taxi service is an inexpensive way to get around the small city, and it is available by phone, but expect to wait an hour or more on busy or cold nights. Avis & Hertz Rental cars are available at Ithaca Tompkins County Regional Airport, and Enterprise-Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental, in Ithaca. Ithaca also features a Car Share program that offers instant access to a network of cars throughout the city, 24 hours-a-day.
Parking
Parking is easy in most parts of Ithaca. However, there are some parts of Ithaca where parking can be tricky. If you park illegally the chance you will get a ticket is higher than average. Note that it is also illegal to leave your car in the same non-metered space for more than 24 hours.
