Most of the time the shows of the Public Theatre are held in the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park. The name of the company was “The Public Theatre/New York Shakespeare Festival” but under a new re-organization the Public Theatre came up with the name “NYSF”.

Because the tickets are for free, the popularity of the event is even bigger and it can be harder to get one. Especially the productions with the well known actors and the last weekend are extremely busy. It’s first come, first served. Per year, about 80.000 people are visiting the shows of Public Theatre in New York Central Park.

The most of the business travelers recognize this. If you have to give a presentation in New York tonight, and you need to create a presentation before you arrive, the problem isn’t the time you have to spend on it, but how to make it during your trip. Even when you have no specific must-do task, busy business travelers want to make their traveling time a productive working time.

The only real option for longer trips is flying and for short trips, the time may not be critical. But for trips in the middle range, you may have better alternatives.

New York city is about 200 miles from Boston. You can get to Boston by plane, bus, train or you can drive by yourself. But when you have to make a presentation on your computer, the last one is not a real option.

But I there is also another option.

The LimoLiner is a new kind of transport that is useful for traveling between New York City and Boston. These silver shuttles are custom-configured to provide the comfort for 28 individual passengers.

The LimoLiner shuttle is divided into two cabins.  The front cabin is useful for 18 people and is equipped with airline type business-class seats. There are two seats on the one side and one seat on the other  for making a maximum leg room and privacy.

The rear cabin has the same airline type business-class seats for 10 people, but then with fixed tables to allow for meetings. This area is also designated as a cell-phone-free quiet zone.

The  LimoLiner is a good way to get from Boston to New York.  LimoLiner offers business travelers conveniently scheduled departures and arrivals from to Hilton Hotel locations, one in Boston and one in Midtown Manhattan. You can relax in the lobby of the Hilton Hotels in peace and comfort until your LimoLiner arrives. No lines, no crowds, no stress.
