Best way to get from Philly Intl Airport - Marriott Downtown

Hi,

I am traveling with a group of high school students to Philadelphia in November. Our group will be staying at the Marriott Downtown. Should we take taxis (4/taxi) or subway? If subway, how would we do that? I searched on the subway site, but found the explanation confusing.

Airport to 1201 Market Street and then reverse on our way back to the airport.

Thanks!

Tracy

Depending on your schedule, you can grab the R1 at the airport, which takes you to suburban station, about a block from the Marriott. That%26#39;s the easiest way, as long as the train schedule works with arrival time. Same for the way back.

Option 2, if you have a larger grp might be to hire a van shuttle. How many total?

Option 3 is a cab, most convenient, most expensive..

What%26#39;s at the marriott?

Thanks for the R1 info. That is what is looked liked on the map, but when I put the locations in, it was saying the R1 and then the subway. Wasn%26#39;t sure why it was saying to do that.

Van shuttle is a great idea; thanks for the suggestion.

It is a long block, so you can take subway, but easier to walk.

Loonbeam, correct me if I%26#39;m wrong, but why not take the R1 to Market East station, which is practically next door to the Marriott?

FYI, cabs are a fixed rate between the airport and Center City. I believe the current fare is $26.50 (without tip). Depending on timing, this may be a good option for you.

My bad, was thinking Market East, said Suburban for some reason..

You could take the SEPTA R1 to Market East Station for $7.00/person. A cab would be $26.25 plus tip, but you won%26#39;t get 4 people%26#39;s worth of luggage in. Hiring a van might work- don%26#39;t know the cost. Here%26#39;s a link: www.phl.org/ground_transportation.html#ground

Thanks for all the suggestions. Very helpful..
