[comp.windows.x] Copley Marriott location question

rws@EXPO.LCS.MIT.EDU (Bob Scheifler) (01/12/90)

    Is it indeed in Copley Square and there is a T stop there? If so it might
    be worth posting to xpert that it will be possible/reasonable to attend the
    conference by flying in and never renting a car.

It is indeed in Copley Square.  You can certainly fly in, take the (free)
shuttle bus to the Airport T station, pay 75 cents for a token, take the Blue
line Inbound to the Government Center station, change to the Green line
Westbound, and take any LRV ("trolley") to the Copley station.  It's a fairly
short walk from there to the hotel.

There is no reason to rent a car in Boston unless you want to drive
somewhere out of the city during the conference.  If you don't want to
deal with the subway, take a cab from the airport to the hotel.  The
Marriot Copley Place also runs a shuttle to and from Logan Airport,
$6.50 per person.  (nearly an order of magnitude more than the T,
though)

The T's likely to be faster than a cab or other road transportation
during rush hour.

BTW, someone said that you can take any trolley from Government Center.
Just make sure it's going inbound/westbound (not outbound/northbound).
