Strome Business Minute With Dr. Jeff Tanner

The 757 just got a new transportation option to DC, called the ROX – or the Rapid Overland Express. The ROX is a luxury motor coach and, having traveled on something like this in Mexico, I’ve wondered for years why we haven’t seen something like it here. You have wifi, wide leather seats with a small tray table, a coach attendant, and a meal from Taste. The ROX makes the nonstop trip to DC in about three and a half hours from the Westin in Town Center, leaving at 8 and noon, with return trips at 1 and 6. An alternative to Amtrak or flying, it’s definitely a business traveler’s dream; the cost is about the same as mileage for driving yourself, plus you can work or watch streaming movies for free. This has been Strome Business Minute, presented by the Strome College of Business, Old Dominion University.
