Don't Take the Train, Wayne
Product: Go Greyhound to Gotham City Promotion
Let's imagine for a moment that you were Bruce Wayne, the billionaire industrialist-philanthropist-playboy whose secret identity is Batman, the Dark Knight. Now, how would you travel across the country to, say, Gotham City? Several options come to mind, from the Batmobile, Bat-Plane and various other Bat-themed vehicles, to a private jet or the ridiculously fast (and expensive) sports cars that a billionaire playboy might have available. But what about... a bus?

Greyhound has announced it is giving one lucky person and their guest the chance to "Go Greyhound to Gotham City." The contest is in partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' The Dark Knight Rises — the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, hitting theaters July 20. From June 22 to Aug. 3, Dark Knight enthusiasts can enter to win a trip for two to New York and "live like Bruce Wayne."


The winner and one guest will receive roundtrip airfare for two to New York City, limousine service on a custom Greyhound VIP coach between the airport and hotel, a three-night hotel stay at a four-star or higher hotel, a sunset champagne helicopter tour over Manhattan and dinner at the three Michelin-starred Jean-Georges restaurant.

"Elevating the typical travel experience is what Greyhound proudly offers every day, so we're pleased to offer Batman fans a chance to live like a billionaire in partnership with Warner Bros. Studios. Although there will only be one winner, everyone can travel in style and enjoy great service when they ride our new fleet of buses, which offer express routes between major cities and luxurious amenities — such as Wi-Fi, leather seats and extra legroom — typically found on more expensive travel options."
- Dave Leach, president and CEO, Greyhound Lines, Inc.

The grand prize winner will be selected by random drawing and notified by telephone and mail by Sept. 7.
