For p≥5, the Gamma 1 congruence subgroup has (p−1)/2 modular cusps of cusp width one and (p−1)/2 of cusp width p. Primitive columns modulo p, taken up to sign, are acted on by (a,c)↦(a+bc,c). The classes with c=0 have cusp width one, the others cusp width p. There are no effective elliptic stabilizers. The genus formula for a modular curve gives genus (p−5)(p−7)/24.
