Dear OHBM members,
We are exploring the possibility of offering discounted public transportation options to help ease the financial burden of attending the conference. We understand that traveling and attending conferences can be costly, especially for students and postdocs who may have budget restrictions. Staying in Downtown hotels / airbnb is super expensive in summer. Transportation pass will help with finding cheaper accommodations. Without this special pass the cost of public transport would be between $40-60 (metro + buses) + $40 USD Taxi to the airport. With a discount we are getting this down to $21USD. Therefore, we want to gauge interest in this initiative to see if it would be beneficial for you.
If successful, this discount will be limited and offered on a first-come-first-serve basis, so we encourage you to express your interest as soon as possible. The discounted price will inclusive of fares for metro, buses, and shuttle to the airport during the meeting period. Tickets, which would be available to be picked up at conference registration desk. Please take a few moments to complete the form below to help us gauge the level of interest in this discount. Your feedback will help us determine if we can offer discounted public transportation for the conference attendees.
