Split your ride from Cornell to Ithaca airport
Tandem is the airport ride board for verified Cornell students. See who else is heading to Ithaca airport, Syracuse airport, JFK or LGA the same day, team up, and split the fare.
One board covers both campuses: Ithaca students heading to Syracuse, and Cornell Tech grad students on Roosevelt Island heading to JFK or LaGuardia.

Questions
Who can use the Cornell ride board?
Only Cornell University students. You sign up with your @cornell.edu email and enter the code we send. Other schools never see your board.
Does Tandem book my ride to Ithaca airport?
No. Tandem shows you which Cornell students are heading to or from the airport when you are. Once you're matched, your group books on whatever app you like and splits the fare.
How much does it cost?
Posting a ride is free until someone joins it. Then it's $2. Joining a ride is $2. If you post and nobody joins, you pay nothing.
How much can I save?
It depends on the fare and how many of you share it. As an example, an $80 ride is about $40 each for two students, or about $27 each for three.
Can I find a ride back to campus from Ithaca airport?
Yes. Post a ride from the airport to campus for the day you land, or join one that's already on the board.
