[nabs-l] Megabus Stop in Dallas

[Elizabeth]

I agree. It is possible that cabs circulate around that area on a regular 
basis when the bus pulls in as a means to find business. If there is not one 
already waiting nearby, perhaps you can call one of the cab companies listed 
at the end of the restaurant guide that was recently circulated on the 
master email list. If you give them the name of the intersection you listed 
in your email as well as the fact that it is the Megabus stop, I am sure a 
cab driver would be able to find you. I do not think the cab fare should be 
too expensive especially if you are splitting it up between a large group of 
people. I have taken a cab a number of times between the Amtrak station and 
the hotel, and it never seemed outrageously expensive to me.

Best of luck,
Elizabeth
