Default Philly - Need local area info (Taxi in midnight)

Hi,

I'm planning to go Philly shows on Mar.2&3.
If anyone who is familiar with the local info, please help me.
Is taxi available from Holiday Inn stadium to 30th street station(Amtrac or Grayhound) in the midnight like 4am or 5am?
Because I need to catch my flight from NYC (LaGuardia Airport).

Thanks in advance!

Have you called the hotel and asked if they have a shuttle??? Most hotels have a van or small bus that runs from the hotel to transportaion centers like train stations and airports.

If not a taxi should be easy to come by, just call down to the front desk and have them call one for you, or get the number and call them from your cell.

One thing to keep in mind is that Philadelphia is not New York City. You can't count on a taxi being available at 4:00am. As Rainsong said, make arrangements ahead of time and you should be fine.

Thank you sooo much for letting me know that!
Unfortunately, this hotel has no shuttle bus service…
I’ve called the hotel last night and if taxi is available 24hours, then she, front desk, said it’s available 24hours and is going to call for a taxi for me.
I’ll keep that in mind Philadelphia is not like NYC. So, I will make an arrangement for taxi in advance. To catch my flight 9am departing from NY (LaGuardia Airport), I need to get there before 7am.
I’ve also asked her which is safer Grayhound station or Amtrac station in the midnight, and she told me Grayhound because more people are there than Amtrac station.

Hello

What you could do is take a cab from the Holiday Inn (south phillly hotel?) to 30th St station and from there hop a train to NYC and it'll drop you off under Madison Square Gardens.

From there your own your own.
