What makes LimoLiner so special?
LimoLiner offers business travelers high-quality, personal business services that enable them to be productive en route for their entire trip. It’s the only travel alternative between Boston and New York with free, onboard wireless Internet access, seatside power outlets, clear and constant cell phone reception, and worktables for meetings. A professional onboard travel attendant will make sure that your needs are fully met from snacks to complimentary magazines and pillows. In short, it’s a semi-private office on the road with all the amenities of your office without the interruptions.  And all of our seats are reserved in advance so you won’t have any annoying lines, unruly crowds or time-consuming, demeaning check-ins.

What if travelers prefer to relax instead of work while on board?
The LimoLiner provides you with onboard entertainment second to none among transportation providers. You’ll have access to two live TV channels (business and news), a DVD movie and a choice of five audio channels. And, if you want to rest, just lean back on the plush leather, business-class reclining seats and put your feet up on the foot rests. Either way, you’ll arrive feeling relaxed, refreshed and ready to go.

How long is the trip each way?
As little as 4 hours and 30 minutes.

What does a LimoLiner fare cost?
LimoLiner offers one low fare of just $89 each way.

Who will benefit from LimoLiner service?
Executives and professionals who want a hassle-free alternative to air or rail travel – one that allows them to be more productive from departure to arrival. It’s perfect for frequent travelers who want to work comfortably or relax en route and arrive feeling ready to go -- not ready to retire. It’s also an ideal answer for people who are just plain fed up with the growing number of air and rail travel complaints one hears about these days – from poor service and frequent delays to unpredictable and restrictive fares.

Is LimoLiner for everyone?
No. It’s designed for frequent business travelers who want to travel from downtown Boston to downtown New York.  If they live or work too far from our selected departure points, air travel may be more appropriate. This is a premium service for small numbers of passengers who want to exercise better control over their travel time. Our aim is to serve about 3% of the Boston and New York business travel set – people who want to travel smarter, not harder.

Do you carry pets?

No. We only allow certified seeing eye service animals.

What is your luggage policy?

We allow two 50 pound bags per passenger, that will be carried in our lower cargo bay and normal small carry on pieces that will fit in our overhead compartments.

What does a LimoLiner cost?
It costs about $550,000 to build each one. This high cost is not all that surprising when you consider all of the state-of-the-art business features built-in. LimoLiner’s construction is all high technology as well; it’s designed with safety and the environment in mind.

Do you really think travelers will prefer LimoLiner to, say, air or rail travel?
Yes, once they’ve tried this unique Boston and New York travel service for themselves, we think they will love it and want to use it again and again. Airport and other public transportation terminals are often too crowded and busy to be inviting and most people would love to avoid those hubs altogether, if they could. LimoLiner, on the other hand, is designed to be totally inviting and inspirational from reservation to arrival. The Liner itself is certainly a place travelers will want to be. One thing LimoLiner is not is “mass transit.” Serving a small number of travelers, it’s much more personal and private than that. But, it’s also a totally relaxing mobile environment where like-minded people can meet and exchange ideas.

How did the idea of LimoLiner come about?
LimoLiner is the brainchild of owner Fergus McCann, a highly successful businessman who made his first fortune in the international travel business. He is also a former chairman and majority shareholder of the Celtic Football Club in Scotland. Fergus is a believer in the old saying that “necessity is the mother of invention.” In this case, he saw the need for a better way of traveling after logging millions of miles around the globe. He became increasingly fed up with the poor service, mindless interruptions and uncomfortable conditions. After venting his frustrations once too often to complacent travel providers, he decided that he could do a far better job.

How many people does the LimoLiner carry?
LimoLiner carries only 30 people (28 passengers and 2 crew) so there’s plenty of legroom and personal space.
