CDTA Buses at the Saratoga Train Station

Two of the five CDTA bus routes in the City of Saratoga Springs have a terminus at the Amtrak Station on the west side of Saratoga Springs (also a park-and-ride location).

This blog post provides tips on how to use the CDTA buses to get to city locations.

Downtown: The Lake Ave. bus (rte 472) crosses Broadway at Lake. This provides access to the Saratoga Hotel and other downtown locations. You can transfer to the Rte. 50 and Jefferson St. Routes at Broadway and Lake.

The Union Ave bus (471) goes right in front of the Holiday Inn. and stops at Congress Park. You can transfer to the Rte. 50 and Saratoga Shuttle routes at Congress Park.

To Skidmore College:
Take the Lake Ave. bus to Broadway. At Broadway transfer to the Jefferson St. bus. The Jefferson St. bus runs every 20 minutes, so you shouldn't have to wait too long. The Lake Ave bus leaves the station on the hour from 7am till 11 pm Mon. through Sat. (reduced hours on Sunday). Skidmore Students ride the Saratoga CDTA buses for free (show your ID). Others will need a day pass ($3) for the transfer, or pay $1 for each leg. The base $1 fare does not include transfers.

Lake and Broadway is also just one block from the Saratoga Hotel (used to be the Sheraton).

To Empire State College at Union Ave: Take the Union Ave but (leaves the train station at 10 minutes after the hour 7am till 11 am Mon. through Sat.). When the bus turns onto Union Ave. get off at the first intersection. 28 Union (Alumni Hall) is on the left with the main College buildings at One Union, Two Union, and Three Union on either side of the street.
