At this point, besides taking Peter Pan or Greyhound, the only other realistic option is for folks to band together in groups of 4 or 6 and take either Uber or Lyft. For the purposes of getting an estimated cost, when you reserve Uber or Lyft from South Station to the Hotel in Springfield for Friday 5/5/23 (around 11:30 am), The average cost per passenger comes to approximately $35. . And we assume it would be about the same coming back on Saturday.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Those of you interested may want to consider that option, as that may take less time and bring you straight to the hotel. Coming back, you could arrange to be picked up from the chapter house back to whatever address you decide on in Boston. Again, that should take less time because they won't have to stop on the way compared to the bus which always stops in Worcester.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The address for the hotel is: The Hampton Inn and Suites Downtown Springfield. 851 East Columbus Ave, Springfield, Massachusetts, 01105.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And the Springfield Chapter house is located at 910 Liberty St., Springfield 01104.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Kobena<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
