Fwd: [Edith.sig] Arriving SHOT Milan airport -- avoid $$$ taxi
Hi all, Relevant info for those going to Milan, via Amy Bix and the EDITH list... ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Bix, Amy S [HIST] <abix@iastate.edu> Date: Wed, Oct 23, 2019, 5:58 AM Subject: [Edith.sig] Arriving SHOT Milan airport -- avoid $$$ taxi To: EDITH.SIG <edith.sig@mit.edu> Hello, everyone - Sorry to bother anyone not coming to SHOT Milan, but for those who are, we've been asked to spread the word that it's wise to avoid taking a taxi from the airport to hotel, which will run over $100.... Instead, the “Malpensa Express” train from MXP airport is convenient, runs 5.30 am to just before midnight, costs Euro 13 pp one-way, with tickets online, at station, or by “tap.” Arrives Milan at Station Cadorna, a 6-8 minute walk to conference hotel. Tom Misa has tweeted all this, plus detailed Google map with **walking** routes from Station Cadorna to conference hotel: https://twitter.com/tjmisa8/status/1185972325449109506 Hope to see people in Milan soon! yours, amy bix Dr. Amy Bix Professor of History Director, Consortium for Historical Studies of Technology and Science 633 Ross Hall, History Dept., 527 Farm House Ln., Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011 office: (515)294-0122; fax: (515)294-6390; e-mail: abix@iastate.edu _______________________________________________ Edith.sig mailing list Edith.sig@mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/edith.sig
Hi all, Following up on Laine’s tip: I heard from Anique Hommels (and the web seems to confirm) that the train might not be an option if you are coming in between 9 p.m. Thursday and 9 p.m. Friday: https://www.thelocal.it/20191023/black-friday-strike-italy-braces-for-transp... But there’s a bus (I think?) that should be a cheaper option than a taxi.
