LimoLiner Fighting Off Competition With Free Booze, Fresh OJ

It's no secret that reliable, comfortable, we-wouldn't-mind-taking-that bus service has rocked the East Coast travel scene. BoltBus and Megabus have become major players, but old stand-by LimoLiner, which has been at the comfortable coaches with WiFi game for years, is adding some amenities this month to stay competitive.

First on the list is free red or white wine for weekday passengers on the 6 pm bus out of Boston and the 6:15 pm bus out of New York. Meanwhile early morning departures will now include a fresh squeezed OJ with breakfast. And safety-obsessed travelers might appreciate the seat belts that are be installed at every seat on the LimoLiner fleet.

Of course the biggest perk in the announcement from the company is that its advance purchase fares will continue to be $49 each way through January 2009. While that's a couple bucks more than you'd pay on one of the other guys, the LimoLiner only seats 28, making for a cozier trip.

Would the new perks make you consider LimoLiner, or are you a hardcore fan of another East Coast bus line? Fill us in.
