The amenities that have vanished from airlines in recent years — swift departures, comfortable seats, fine dining — are appearing on premium bus lines sprouting across the U.S., some staffed by attendants and equipped with leather chairs, wide video screens and tables for work or dining.
The bus lines are competing with airlines in important corridors like D.C. to New York and Los Angeles to San Francisco. The largest carrier, Vonlane in Texas, refers to its service as "a private jet on wheels."

Ten weeks later, she set off on a week-long listening tour from Niagara Falls, ON, heading to points west and north to meet with entrepreneurs and employees in the tourism sector and get a crash course on the state of the industry — one that is remarkably robust.
