Taxi Cabs in Philadelphia

Posted @ 10 July 2007 @ 10am by Alex Hillman

For those of you coming in on mass transit, you’re going to likely want to grab a Taxi Cab. For those unfamiliar with the city, if you’re coming in from the airport there is a $26.25 flat rate fare available into center city. If you’re coming in via Amtrak’s 30th Street Station, cabs are $2.70 at the meter drop and based on mileage from there. From 30th street to the Radisson Warwick you should expect a $6-7 fare or so, not including tip.

Lady Liberty Shuttle is also a great deal from the airport. It’s a shared ride with door to door service. Lady Liberty is $10 to your hotel or $10-12 to Center City residences.

When you arrive at the airport, call Lady Liberty from the transportation desk near baggage claim and the shuttle typically arrives in less than 5-10 minutes. You can also schedule the shuttle ahead for your return to the airport.

NOTE: SEPTA’S R1 airport line goes to Suburban Station, just a few blocks from the conference.

It’s cheaper than shuttles or cabs and way more pleasant.
