Getting In, Getting Around Rochester

Rochester has a small international airport to which air fares are generally expensive. Some of the best deals can be found with JetBlue when flying from JFK Airport in New York City. There is a Greyhound bus station which is located in the heart of downtown. There is also a train station with four daily trains from New York City. Rochester is also on the route from Chicago and Toronto.

To see the city, a car is a virtual necessity. This is definitely a drivers' city. Either bring your own car or rent one on the arrival floor of the airport. Outside of downtown, the suburbs are not very walkable with sidewalks and pedestrian crossings placed sporadically. There are bus lines run by the Regional Transit System (RTS), fares are $1.25 for a single ride.
