Limousine as a Shuttle
The ‘Sprinter’ is a light rail line operating between Oceanside and Escondido, in California, USA. As part of a recent promotion, Sprinter riders get a free limousine ride into downtown. The free upscale ride, which carted Sprinter passengers between the Escondido Transit Center and downtown throughout the day, was part of an ongoing effort by Escondido's downtown merchants to draw more people into the city.
The 22-mile Sprinter light-rail line began operating March 9, carrying thousands of passengers a day from Escondido to Oceanside. The trains operate seven days a week from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday was the first day that the limo shuttle, provided by the Downtown Business Association and Escondido's Extreme Limousine, was running. It will continue to be available from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every Saturday through June.
Several of the passengers, who came from Oceanside, Vista and San Marcos, said that the free, seven-minute trip in the limousine was a major draw. Many of them waited in short lines outside of the train station for their turn in the 10-person vehicle and then once inside they snapped photos with their phones and cameras to remember the moment. They claimed that the Sprinter paired with the free limousine ride was an event they just couldn't pass up.
In the UK you too can organise your own luxury limousine shuttle service. Whether you need a ride to or from an airport, a train station, a ferry or seaport. Anywhere that you would normally rely on either a taxi or a shuttle bus service, you can arrange to have a luxury hire limo collect you. Forget about having to wait in queues and sharing a taxi; when you hire a limo you are treated like a VIP. You will be able to relax in a clean comfortable limousine, secure in the knowledge that your experienced chauffer will get you to your destination safely and on time.
