Pros: The driver moved well through congestion and made good time on highway. He was courteous and helpful. Cons: The intercom on the bus was not audible in the back where I was sitting and I did nit hear the the stop announced. This was my first trip and I missed my transfer stop. Tips: Don't count on signs and hearing announcements. Ask questions at every stop, if necessary.

Blessed with over 150 waterfalls within 10 miles, Ithaca is every outdoors fan’s petit haven. The most notable, and the tallest of the bunch, is the Taughannock Falls. There are hiking trails located close to the falls that will provide an amazing overlook of the falls itself, but do stay away from the water in the gorges.
