Due the unpredictiblity and unreliabilty of Coach USA service to and from Fredonia, we do not recommend this carrier if you are making time-critical connections to other carriers in the Buffalo area (train, bus or airlines.) If you are making such connections over the campus Fall, Thanksgiving, Winter, or Spring breaks, we recommend using our Term Break Shuttle Bus Service.
Coach USA, the regional carrier that serves Western New York, continues to experience labor shortages. The company is trying to rebuild the schedule to their normal five buses per day, each way between Jamestown and Buffalo (including two stops in Fredonia.)
Their announced schedule for the week of Monday, August 26 through Sunday, Sept. 1 can be found at this link.
The Ticket Office is trying to obtain the schedule for the week of Monday Sept. 16 through Sunday, Sept. 22, but we have not been able to reach anyone at Coach USA. When and if we get new information, we will post it on this web page, on the white board outside our office in the Williams Center, and in the bus shelter to the north of the Williams Center (between the Williams Center and Dods Hall.)
