I would guess about $25. It's probably going to be a flat rate deal. Eric |

A surprising number of drivers don't seem to know the area very well, and I have yet to find one who carries a map or atlas in the car. |

There used to be some "shuttle vans" which operated to/fm some communities/areas (identifiable by much lettering on side and front, sometimes seemingly by hand) which were considerably cheaper than taxis, and providing door to door service to most addresses in their area of service. A reservation (and finding a name/phone number can be challenging) is usually advisable on this sort of transport. TMO |
