Go green with LERN social events. With the high cost
of fuel, LERN is doing what it can to conserve energy
by eliminating the hiring of private coaches for tours
in San Francisco (except the City Tour), a city that has
a great transportation system. In doing so, you’ll be
keeping some extra green in your pocket because the
cost of a private shuttle is eliminated.
