Crashpads
 
If it were between CLT and PHL for commuting, what's the easiest/cheapest place to geta crashpad? Any suggestions on where to find crashpad advertisements?

CLT pretty much requires you to have a car, the public transportation is lacking. I'm not familiar with CLT crashpads and if they have crashpad cars or not. PHL has a bunch of crashpads in Essington, just west of the airport and easily accessible by bus.

There were several postings in the CLT training center cafeteria for both CLT and PHL crashpads.

Yes, CLT has a very inadequate transportation system... heck the airport can't even keep the moving sidewalks, escalators, and elevators working. I have never seen an infrastructure so poorly maintained. Its embarrassing. Something is broken every time I go through there, especially the moving sidewalks. And the airport "internal transportation system" is emblematic of the city's meager bus and train system, if I dare call it a system.

Yes, you NEED a car in CLT.

PHL has great transportation, the train goes right into the airport from downtown, also their are many local buses. I'm at a crashpad right across the street from the employee lot so I just take the employee bus and walk, and sometimes I'm really lazy and take the train because you got to make sure you don't wear the wrong gang colors riding that employee shuttle

CLT is a ghetto. Not PHL ghetto, but ghetto non the less. The airport is no different than the rest of the city. You can shelter yourself and family if you can afford live up on Lake Norman. If not, welcome to the land of high taxes, democrats, and a a overall hate of white people.
