Cheap bus from Long Island/NYC to Ithaca and back
What is the cheapest way for my friend back home to get to Ithaca? Basically, anything less than the $105 fare from port authority to ithaca.

also are the tgif discounts only for leaving ithaca first? i tried buying a ticket through that but it seems it only works for a round trip starting from ithaca

$105 for a one-way ticket? That's crazy. But if it's really that expensive, here:

No, Shortline is more like 90 - 100 round trip.

^ yeah, that's what I thought. $105 one-way would just be outrageous. I thought I saw $107 on shortline a couple of days ago.
