Coming by Plane?

     Shuttle service is available from Philadelphia International Airport via Dave's Best Limo (800-255-BEST or www.davesbestlimoservice.com) to the Radisson in Trevose is $26 one way, $45 round trip; to Philadelphia Biblical University in Langhorne the cost is $30 one way, $55 round trip. If three or more people book and ride together, there is a discount.  Public transportation is also available on the R1 train to 30th Street Station, then the R3 line to West Trenton that stops at Langhorne Station. (See below.)

 

Coming by Train

     Call AMTRAK (800-9872-7245) or visit http://www.amtrak.com for info on trains to 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. 

     Call SEPTA (215-580-7800) or visit http://www.septa.org for info on R3 line going to West Trenton.  Get off at Langhorne Station. The station is only minutes away from the university. We'll be glad to pick you up.  During the conference call 610-506-8142, 610-209-2623, or 610-453-0351. (Please do NOT call these numbers before the conference since they are cell phones that are not always on.) There is a phone booth at the station, and the university is only a couple of minutes away. It is a good idea, however, to give us a heads-up of the approximate time you'll be arriving via an email by the Friday before the conference. We'll be setting up at the university on Wednesday. It's doubtful I'll be online much of the day, so be sure to call rather than email if you need to be picked up on Wednesday.

      It's a short walk, if you enjoy walking and the weather permits. (See map at http://www.pbu.edu/info/tour/main-set.htm) Walk to your left up Bellevue Avenue. Turn right on Manor Avenue.  Walk two blocks and the campus is on your left. See the Street Map for the Langhorne Station location and the SEPTA Link for complete schedule and fare information and detailed maps of all stations at PBU's web site.
