Transportation to Carbondale
Flying into St. Louis
Another option for getting to Carbondale is the St Louis Shuttle (stlshuttleservice.com), which organizes rides as needed. For a single person, the cost is significant, but if we can organize 4-5 people on the same shuttle, we can get the price down to $50 or so one-way. We are working with Brian of St Louis Shuttle, who will help organize people into shuttles. He has generously offered his personal number (314) 397-4538 for those interested in this option to call. Please tell him you are coming for the Global Fusion conference in Carbondale.
