Ground Transportation in Philly??
I did post this in the Philly airport forum also, but doesn't look like anyone is ever there!!
I leave in about 12 hours for my first ever trip to Philly. As usual, I started tonight checking for a shared shuttle van service from the airport to the convention center area. I have not found anything!!
I searched the airport website, called the airport transportation dept (they were closed), called the airport 24 hour general info number (and sat on hold for 20 minutes before I gave up!) and have searched google/yahoo.
Does anyone know the name/link for this type of service at PHL?
Any help would be appreciated!

There are tons of van services leaving from PHL to get into the city. I can recommend Lady Liberty, very reliable: (215) 724-8888. Each of PHL's baggage claim areas has a transportation desk with a big list of van and taxi companies--they'll make the call for you right there. I do book ahead with Lady Liberty to make sure there's room in the van.

Second vote for Lady Liberty: they'll be fine. The usual inconvenience of stopping at various hotels before they get to yours, but such is life in the shuttle business.
A taxi to the Convention Center area is a flat-rate $20. I usually give $25 w/tip.
