Re: Travel from Boston
MBTA commuter rail likely won't be an option. The line that runs to Ayer that runs on weekends doesn't have any outbound departures during overnight hours between midnight and 8AM.casuallyironicknight wrote: ↑Sat Mar 25, 2017 12:30 am I really want to attend an 18+ panel but don't own a car.

Your best option may be using a ride app like Uber or Lyft. I've had no experiences with either, so maybe someone else can give their thoughts on this.

Re: Travel from Boston
Unfortunately, the MBTA typically ends service around 12:30am so public transportation isn't an option.

Re: Travel from Boston
You could always take a cab or a Lyft - I remember last year Lyft and AB ran a promo where you could get ride credits or a percentage off or something. But yeah, late night service is gone for the MBTA now =\

FYI: According to Ride Guru, for getting from Boston to Ayer, Lyft or Uber cost around $65 and a taxi would cost around $120.

Re: Travel from Boston
If you see a guy in a green kilt, come up to me and say "Hi". Given the security rules, I can't share my hotel room on a casual basis, but I empathize with your loneliness.casuallyironicknight wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2017 9:23 pmI never seem to make friends that have hotel rooms or even close friends... how does one "friends" ;-;
