 I'm just wondering if there's any public transportation from RDU to 
 the conference hotel and if so, how safe is it? I have opted out of 
 public transport at some places that I later found out were very 
 safe (e.g.,
 Boston) because I'm from Los Angeles and we don't do public
 transportation,
 so I just thought I'd ask now and plan in advance.

2014-01-14 Thread Jason Ronallo
I regularly take the 100 bus to get to and from RDU airport when I
travel. It is my default for airport travel. The schedule doesn't
always work for my flight times. Also note that I do not believe this
bus runs on Sundays when many folks are probably going to be coming
into town. If it works for your schedule, though, it is a good, cheap
option. Triangle Transit buses are usually very clean and many have
free wifi.
