I currently live in Pittsburgh, and it would be nice if someone can pick me up (my friend who said will take me cancelled last minute). I can share the expenses. If I am unlucky I’ll fly to Philly tomorrow morning ---

You can take the train! It only costs about $6 to get from the airport to within 3 blocks of the event center. That’s my plan 😁 ---

DC to Philly is like 300 round trip for the train which is absurd to me. ---

That price reflects the hassle and unpredictability of driving the route. $300 for a predictable, comfortable ride from DC to Philly that I do not have to drive? Sounds about what the market will bear. If it was East Dog Breath to North Snake Spit; the price would be much reduced. 🙂 ---

I ended up booking a train which is 200 for a round trip ---

No, I meant from the Philly airport! Lol Edit, just looked it up again, $6.75 from the airport to the hotel 🫡 Edit again, haha, I misread this whole situation…disregard me unless you’re looking for transport from the airport to hotel 😅😅😅 ---
