Or, if you mean you have a car and want to pick someone up at the
Norristown Transportation Center and drive them to the hotel, that
would be very nice of you.
Anyone needing such a ride can post that request here or contact Mano directly.
On Friday I'm picking up one of our speakers at the Norristown
Transportation Center like I did last year.

Hi Mano,
There's no need for anyone at the SWLfest to coordinate your train
transportation to Norristown, and your taxicab (or Uber or Lyft)
ride from the nearby Norristown Transportation Center to the
hotel. All the information you need is posted below.
Good luck,

Rich, thanks for making that useful airport shuttle update to the
<http://SWLfest.com>SWLfest.com website.
The Tropiano airport shuttle to the hotel costs $29 (one-way) plus
mandatory gratuity. You have to call them well in advance at (215) 616-5370.
I you enjoy traveling by train, a cheaper and more interesting
option is to take the SEPTA airport line from PHL airport to
Philly's Jefferson Station (formerly Market East) and then
transfer to the Manayunk-Norristown Line to the Norristown
Transportation Center (which is a 15-min cab drive from the
hotel.) The train fare for the full trip is $9.00 and you can buy
your ticket from a machine on the PHL airport train platform (or
for a bit more on the train.) At Jefferson Station, tell the
train conductor that you're deboarding at the Norristown
Transportation Center. Here's the URL for SEPTA's "transportation
planner" which can create a train itinerary for you:
http://www.septa.org/m/maps/trip.html
From the Norristown Transportation Center you can take Uber or
Lyft for about $15 (or a taxicab for a bit more) to the
hotel. (Or if you have a friend at the hotel with a car, they
might be willing to make the short trip to pick you up ;-)
If you're coming from Philadelphia's 30th Street Station from
anywhere, for only $7.00 (pay on the train) you can take the
Manayunk-Norristown Line to the Norristown Transportation Center,
and then take Uber or Lyft for about $15 (or a taxicab for a bit
more) to the hotel. (Or if you have a friend at the hotel with a
car, they might be willing to make the short trip to pick you up ;-)
I hope folks find this transportation info useful. Maybe it can
also be added to the <http://SWLfest.com>SWLfest.com website.
Best,

Hi folks!
Ed Cummings pointed out that the link posted on the best
website for Tropiano Transportation had changed and we hadn't updated it.
That oversight has now been corrected, and if you are looking for
transportation from the Philadelphia Airport, or 30th Street
Amtrak, and are not renting a car, then Tropiano Transportation
may be an option for you.
See <http://swlfest.com>http://swlfest.com for more details.
See you in about 2 weeks!
