Otherwise, I would think you'd have to pay for him to drive up there, and then back, and then you'd have to hire a new guy to drive everyone home, and then back to Indy. That'd be 2x the cost. Whatever cost for hotel space for the driver would pale in comparison.We'd have to figure out a route.  I assume that the buses would really only stop at a bus station, but people could drive to the nearest bus station in their area to get picked up along the way.But I definitely think it could be a lot cheaper.  By the time you pay for parking at the convention center (admittedly just one days' worth if you never leave), but gas isn't exactly cheap anymore.  You're probably looking at at least two full gallons there and back (depending on how far away people are) which could run around $60.  So, just getting there could be around $120 in terms of gas, tolls, and parking.I'll do some more research on this.  Keep in mind that I'm only really interested in setting up a route through Richmond, VA.  But, perhaps my research can help others set up bus routes in their areas.</blockquote>
