Travel Info for May 2nd meeting at Yale (Updated 4/28)

For those of you coming from Boston who might wish to take public/mass transportation, the possibilities are rather limited in terms of getting there in time for the start of the meeting. The 6:40am Amtrak train out of South Station will get you to Union Station in New Haven at 9:07am. There are no Megabus or Greyhound/PeterPan busses in the morning, from what I can tell.

The following links provide all transportation-related information.
