   For those travelling by bus to the Chicago area, Greyhound
   <http://www.greyhound.com/> has two terminals in the Chicago area. The
   Chicago-Downtown terminal is the closest to the convention, and the
   Chicago-Dan Ryan/95th is several miles to the south of downtown.
   
   Getting to Chicon from the bus terminal:
   
   Taxi
          Taxi fare from the downtown bus terminal would cost around $10,
          and from the Dan Ryan terminal would be about $25. Information
          on using taxi services in Chicago is available on the City of
          Chicago's How to use taxis
          <http://www.ci.chi.il.us/ConsumerServices/TaxisAndLiveries/HowT
          oUseTaxis.html> page.
          
   CTA Train
          Both terminals are close to the Chicago Transit Authority's
          light rail system, commonly known as the "El". The Downtown
          Terminals is 2 blocks from the Blue Line (Forest Park Branch.)
          Take the blue line inbound to Jackson. You can then walk, about
          5 blocks, or wait on Jackson street and take the #60 bus to
          Columbus, which is 1/2 block south of the Fairmont Hotel, and 1
          block South of the Hyatt. Fare is $1.50, with an addition $.30
          for the transfer.
          
          From the Dan Ryan terminal, take the CTA Red Line inbound to
          the Lake Street Station, and walk east 1 block for the
          Fairmont, and north from there 1 block to the Hyatt.
          
   CTA Bus
          From the downtown terminal, wait on Harrison for the #60
          inbound, and ride it to Stetson. See above for directions. Fare
          would be $1.50
          
          More information on the CTA system can be found at the CTA
          Homepage <http://www.yourcta.com/>. Of particular interest
          would be the Downtown Sightseeing guide
          <http://www.yourcta.com/downloads/brochures/sightseeing.pdf>
          (PDF), which covers all the lines mentioned above, and has a
          map with most of the downtown hotels marked.
