Hi,
I am interested in going to the July BSIG observing session. However, I do not have a car. is there any public transportation to Metcalf?

[Sureshks]

Hello,

No Metcalf Nature Center is not on a public transportation route.

Perhaps you can come via Uber?

I looked in to that, and it is possible, but expensive. If that's the only way, I'll do it.
