Well, one of the things that I liked about Maastricht was that every attendee got a free pass for the entire city bus system. Busses left in front of the building, about once every 10 minutes from +/- 6am to +/- 11pm, and got you to the downtown area in about 10-15 minutes. Density of bus stops in the downtown area is such that most restaurants are within a few minutes walk of a bus stop. I used it a couple of times and it just worked fine. I'm not sure how a shuttle bus could have improved on this.
