Other TCAT route changes include the following:On weekends, Route 90 will offer a one-seat (no transfer) ride — interlining with Route 15 — from North Campus to shopping locations, such as Wegmans and Walmart. In the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, TCAT has reduced bus routes due to staff shortages and supply chain challenges. According to TCAT’s Aug. 2 press release, the previous system has been in place for the past 14 years and has become less efficient in recent years. Through the new system, Cornell IDs will need to be swiped, rather than tapped to the farebox as the previous system allowed. For those not using Cornell IDs, apps, smartcards and an on-demand payment platform will be available for use with the new system, according to TCAT.
