| One-Way Trip: $29 (cash only) Round Trip: $53 (paid in advance, cash only) | |
| Taxis | |
| Fares to/from the hotel are high at $70-$85 one-way, but so is the convenience level. Share a cab to cut the cost by paying a per-ride fee, not per person. Taxis can be found outside the airport terminal in the Ground Transportation area. At the train station, taxies can be found outside the main concourse. For your return trip, call one of the following taxi companies to arrange for a cab to pick you up at the hotel: Main Line 610-664-0444; Norristown 610-275-9700; Philadelphia 610-595-1599. Travel time is about 35-45 minutes. | |
