A $275 Bus Ticket to the Hamptons

 

 

롱아일랜드 햄턴이 핫한 계절이 다가오고 있다. 맨해튼 허드슨야즈에서 햄턴(Southampton, Bridgehampton, East Hampton)까지 럭셔리 버스 서비스 '햄턴 스트림라이너(Hamptons Streamliner)'가 등장했다.

 

10년 전 뉴욕과 햄턴 통근자들의 교통혼잡을 피하기 위해 설립된 통근 헬리콥터 전세회사 블레이드(Blade)가 5월부터 운행을 시작한다. 좌석을 최대 45도까지 뒤로 젖힐 수 있으며, 고속 와이파이 서비스, 에스프레소, 칵테일/로제, 팝업 베이글, 스위트그린 샐러드 등 간식이 재공된다. 각 좌석에 승무원 호출 버튼이 있다. 

 

19인승 코치 버스인 햄턴 스트림라이너라고 해서 교통 정체를 피할 수는 없다. 때문에 부자 승객들은 호화 서비스를 원할 것이라는 컨셉이다. 편도 티켓 $195, 애완동물과 동승할 수 있는 프리미엄 티켓은 $275(7석, 추가 요금 부과). 햄턴 지트니(54인승), 앰버서더(30인승, 무료 와인-커피 제공)은 $41-$64 수준이다. 이 버스는 허드슨 야즈에서만 탈 수 있다. 한편, 헬리콥터는 $1.025.
