[nfbmi-talk] More Megabus Service in Michigan

[Elizabeth]

Hi Matt,

Thank you for being so willing to provide this information. however, cab 
fares are based on distance traveled, and it is not always convenient for a 
sighted person to pick me up. If I recall correctly, the last time we were 
at this hotel, they provided a free shuttle from the Dearborn Amtrak 
station., hence my curiosity regarding a Megabus stop in Dearborn. If they 
stop at the Dearborn Amtrak station, this would be the perfect way to get to 
and from the state convention hotel. If it does not stop there, then there 
are always other possibilities as indicated in your email.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
