Centro begins bus services in Cortland County
This is the first time that Centro has expanded its network in 20 years.
'We are thrilled to begin bus services in Cortland County,' said Christopher Tuff, Centro Deputy Chief Executive Officer. 'Residents can look forward to safe, reliable and equitable transportation that will use the latest technologies to make using the bus an easy, convenient and desirable option.'
Centro kicked off its service on Monday, March 31, by providing free rides for the day and increasing service along one of Cortland's busiest corridors.
Beginning on Monday, Cortland more than doubled the number of round-trips on its Route 6 service, connecting Cortland with Tompkins Community College.
'This partnership will not only make commuting easier and more affordable, but it will also help connect more people to opportunities, healthcare, and vital services,' said Lea Webb, the New York State Senator for the 52nd district. 'I'm excited about the positive impact this will have on the community, and I look forward to seeing the benefits unfold for the people of Cortland and the entire Central New York region.'
Centro has reduced the bus fares to $1 per ride for all city bus lines and $3 per ride on its commuter service to Cornell University.
The public transportation provider is also introducing Call-A-Bus- a service for people with disabilities. It provides service to the same areas as its bus lines.
Centro has provided public transportation in Central New York for over 50 years. It provides more than seven million bus rides each year.

Cornell Close to White House Settlement of Up to $100 Million
The White House is eyeing a settlement of as much as $100 million in negotiations with Cornell University about an agreement that would reinstate hundreds of millions of dollars in frozen federal research funding, according to people familiar with the matter. A deal could be announced as soon as next week, said the people, who asked not to be named because the talks are private. One of the issues still under discussion is whether the pact would call for a resolution monitor to supervise how Cornell is carrying out changes required by the US — an arrangement accepted by Columbia University in a landmark $221 million deal last month.
