LimoLiner was an intercity bus service that operated from 2003 until 2019. It had offered bus service between Boston, Massachusetts and New York, New York.[1] Operating from a curbside location in Midtown Manhattan, it served the Boston area from a park-and-ride lot in suburban Framingham and a downtown location in the Back Bay. Initial funding by founder Fergus McCann purchased 3 buses seating 28 passengers (instead of a more typical 55).[1] Sunday service was added in February 2004.[2]
LimoLiner buses had larger leather seats with more legroom than typical intercity buses. Most rows had a single seat on one side of the aisle and two on the other. In addition to a bathroom, the bus had an attendant and a small galley provisioned with free light snacks.[3]
In May 2014, the company announced on its Facebook page that its founder had retired, and that the company had been sold to Hamilton Transportation Group.[4]
LimoLiner announced via its website and Facebook page on December 31, 2019 that it had ceased operations due to financial difficulties.[5] [6]
