BOSTON -- Beginning Oct. 1, there will be a new way to travel from
Boston to New York, as LimoLiner introduces its motorcoach service
for business travelers.
LimoLiner will operate a vehicle of the same name -- a $550,000
luxury bus with 28 reclining leather seats featuring free
high-speed Internet access at each seat, televisions, meetings
tables and a travel attendant to serve snacks and beverages.
The LimoLiner was founded by Fergus McCann, a Scottish-American
businessman who most recently owned Celtic, a professional soccer
club in Scotland.
McCann said he's aiming to attract airline and Amtrak travelers
who want to save money and avoid the hassle of security delays and
crowded terminals.
Each trip will take about four hours, door-to-door from the
Hilton New York and the Hilton Boston Back Bay. LimoLiner formed a
business partnership with Hilton, and that's where the motorcoach
will depart and arrive four times every weekday from each
location.
The introductory fare will be $69 each way. For details, visit
