If you take the shuttle anytime Saturday or Sunday by 2:30 PM, it's $75, 
a 50% discount off the usual price of $150.

This is about the same price as the train, which just increased in 
price.  If you are traveling at other times, the train is *much* cheaper.

The bus is much cheaper even than the train, but I think is more
inconvenient in terms of schedule, travel time, and location of terminals. 

Good luck.
