Sometimes, often in fact, a car is necessary to get where you need to go in a 
reasonable time or at a specific time.... If you stay at one of the near-by 
hotels, there's not a big problem, but outside the downtown area, public 
transportation is much less than adequate.

Last year, #2 son used public transportation to get to the Con on one of the 
weekdays (he had summer school). It took 2 1/2 hours and 3 or 4 different 
"rides" (at least one bus and 2 different trolley lines). Plus it cost something 
close to $6 for the one-way trip. And having a car in the underground parking 
means you have a readily available locker and lunch box, so you don't have to 
rely on convention center services nor leave the Con.
