Lost & Found

Did you leave something on the bus?

People leave personal property on TCAT buses everyday. We love to reunite people with their lost items!
If you’ve left something on one of our buses we want to help you.

All Lost & Found Items

can be reclaimed at the TCAT main office.

If you have lost something valuable that you urgently need, such as a wallet, purse, or bicycle, please call us right away at (607) 277-7433 and it may be possible for you to arrange to meet that bus in the opposite direction to retrieve your items. The sooner you call, the more likely we will be able to track down the bus with your missing items. We will need to know the bus route, bus number (if possible), and what time you rode the bus. Email is the best way to reach us when the office is closed.

We also need a thorough description of your lost property. All lost items are normally turned in to the front office when the bus returns to the depot which is usually on the following day. On occasion, items do get turned in on the same day they were lost.
