    • If you are staying at the Hyatt Regency, call the hotel in advance or when you arrive and they will schedule their shuttle to pick you up.
    • If you purchase a ticket to Princeton, it includes a transfer at Princeton Junction to “The Dinky” shuttle which stops at Princeton’s campus. From there you may take a shuttle bus, a taxi, or walk to your destination.
