The logical thing might be to wait a few weeks and check the registration list.
So as of this moment, there are 17 pre-registered attendees who have indicated that they are in/near Westford. We should figure out if a bus is sensible at that number (assuming as many as 24 riders might be wise, as some folks may not yet have decided whether they are coming). Doing a quick search of local charter bus companies[1], we could probably rent a minibus (30 seats) for about $1250 each way ($3.25/mi for 385 miles, based on Google maps[2]). Alternately, they have a larger (56-seat) bus for $3.75/mi and a couple of "luxury" buses whose price is not listed on their website.
Obviously, other bus companies likely exist, but this is hopefully useful information for starting an investigation.
