This page is for recording logistics like temporary lodging info, things to bring, and so forth. Return to FUDCon Toronto 2009
Buses
From Mel Chua:
- Bus company: http://www.travelpackusa.com/
- Cost for 15 people: $525 per day (though I need to find out whether we're required to keep them to drive around Toronto; waiting for reply.)
- Bus company: http://www.sunshineboston.com/buscharter.html
- Cost for 15 people: $4300 (this is a 42-seater bus, which is all they have - but it does mean we can fit a lot more people in.)
From Chris Tyler: it's worth asking for a bus with AC power at the seats -- makes laptop users happier.
