Chinatown bus vs. legroom, DirecTV, WiFi and a kitchen
Attention all NYers who refuse to come to Boston.
Lookit.Fergus McCann, a Scottish-American entrepreneur, is betting almost $2 million of his own fortune that his fledgling LimoLiner bus service, offering four round trips a day to New York, will lure travelers away from the pricey air shuttle and the sometimes erratic Amtrak rail service. One of his three $550,000 custom buses is scheduled to make its inaugural run from the Hilton Boston Back Bay Hotel at 6 a.m. Oct. 1, arriving at the Hilton New York in Manhattan at 10. Passengers -- only 28 for each bus, rather than the usual 55 -- will pay $69 each way for a round-trip ticket.
