TRANSPORTATION

FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE HOTEL OR WORKSHOP:
The Philadelphia Airport is about 15-20 minutes from Center City. It's a flat fare of $28.50 (no meter). There is also a regional train (R1) from the airport to Center City every half hour for $7.00 -- the ride is about 25 minutes; Market East Station is the closest one to the Workshop and to the Hotel. Ground transportation to and from PHL: http://www.phl.org/ground_transportation.html

FROM THE HOTEL TO THE WORKSHOP:
Taxi: The fastest and easiest way to travel. (A few are: Quaker City Cab, 215-728-8000, Liberty Cab, 215-389-8000, Philly Cab, 215-438-7777, Olde City Taxi, 215-338-0838)

By foot: The Hotel (13th St) and the Workshop (5th St) are both along Walnut Street.

Market Frankfurt El: Also known as the blue line, the El runs underground along Market Street, stopping at both 13th and 5th Streets. However, the hotel and the workshop are four blocks south of Market. You can take a single trip using a token, the cash fare of $2.00, or ride all day with a $5.50 SEPTA DayPass. (www.septa.com}

Bus: #42 and #21 go west on Walnut (from the Workshop to the Hotel) and also east [two blocks north of Walnut] on Chestnut (from the Hotel to the Workshop), as part of a larger loop through the city of Philadelphia. Fare is same as above.

Automobile: Parking near the Workshop is limited. There are some free streets with free parking on Sundays, but most streets have two hour limits.
