Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students have high praise for the Binghamton University bus services because of the routine service, extensive routes, and (best of all) the fact that they’re free. And while some point out that bus service does not run 24 hours, cabs take over as a quick and affordable way of getting around town at night.

Getting around town is easy thanks to public transportation, and getting out of town is often simple as well. Greyhound runs frequent bus schedules out of downtown Binghamton, ESCAPE is a cheap and convenient way to get home for the holiday breaks, and it is only a matter of time before you meet someone who has a car and can drive you to where you need to go. Getting around or getting out, transportation in Binghamton is a breeze.
