Sure. My point is that, it is not a concom's responsibility to
ensure that every vehicle-less person is escorted to the con.

I might even point out that the old Adam Mark was more convenient
to car drivers; free hotel parking.

As a vehicle owner, and one with a vehicle for pretty much every
day of the last 30 years, I've carried a lot of non vehicle owners
to and from many, many cons. For much less per trip costs/
prices than any commercial carrier.

I see that Chinatown bus is asking $12 for a Philly to NYC
trip. If I were making that trip, and had, say, 2 or 3 riders
aboard, I dare say that I could match that cost level, and
provide door to door service, too.

Lunacon is in 4 days; Philcon is in 8 months...
