Life’s a beach riding to The Hamptons on Blade’s new $200-a-seat luxury bus
NY Post
The road to Hamptons luxury is paved with D-listers and day-drinkers.
A swanky new bus service from the company that brought Big Apple elites $1,000 helicopter trips to the East End kicked off its first weekend of rides Friday — with passengers that included a cocktail-sipping reality TV star, a CEO and a nightlife promoter.
Well-to-do New Yorkers said they plunked down $195 to $275 for the one-way ticket on Blade’s new Streamliner bus to avoid cramped mass transit and safety risks associated with chopper travel.
“I don’t like public transportation,” said Zhanna Zervos, a self-described divorced housewife who appeared on “Hot Yachts Miami.” “This one I was like, ok, I can do.”
“I prefer a luxury way of traveling — private jet or helicopter,” added Zervos, who was drinking a complementary canned gin and tonic. “But I’m a little afraid.”
The posh coach ride made its maiden voyage from Manhattan Thursday to kick off beach season ahead of Memorial Day weekend.
