In addition there is very convenient public transportation. The bus number 10 leaves every few minutes two blocks from Hotel Ithaca and almost in front of the Hilton and takes 10 minutes to the Goldwin Smith Hall stop which is directly in front of the Physical Science Building (PSB). Bus number 30 leaves in the morning every 15 minutes (starting on the hour) just 200m from the Hotel Ithaca and reaches the Rockefeller Hall stop right in front of the PSB building in less than 10 minutes. The bus fare is $1.50 and exact change is required. For further information please see the TCAT homepage. Finally, the walk between the hotels and the Physical Sciences Building can be pleasant and scenic, but be advised that when going uphill it could take 40 minutes, depending on your aerobic capacity. Returning to the hotel involves a comfortable 25 minute walk.
