Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Getting around campus is fairly easy if you pay attention to the many schedules and signs provided for students. Syracuse University has a convenient bus service that shuttles students to and from South Campus, as well as around main campus. There are also three bus stops on campus for trips to such places as downtown Syracuse and the Carousel Mall. As long as you know the schedule, you will certainly do fine getting around campus.

Also, taxis are always readily available. Some students hail a cab to go to the airport, which can be fairly inexpensive. Other students like to use cabs as their designated driver when they go to bars and frats on campus, and they are always available late at night. Buses, trains, and planes are also convenient, as long as you can make your way to either Hancock Airport or the Transportation Center. Both are within a 10-minute drive from the SU campus. Although the airport is small, there are flights that leave from Hancock to almost every destination an SU student would need to go.

Centro Sucks

Avoid taking the bus. It's generally always late and a huge time suck. South Campus buses are the worst, unless you happen to wait for a bus around 8am. The buses after then are always jam packed with people and lots of people at the Small Road stops end up being passed by multiple times and late for class.

Good

There is a connective corridor bus that takes you to south campus or downtown. The only tricky thing is understanding the schedule/catching the bus.

Needs Improvement

On campus transportation is pretty decent. The busses have a set schedule and are on time. If you live on campus there isn't really a need to take a bus, unless you live in South Campus, in which case you need to take the bus or have your car.

Now, the city of Syracuse does not have the best public transportation. Everything is really far from school and busses usually take really long detours. On the plus side, the busses are free for students. However, most students feel safer sharing cabs and they are more time efficient.
