Kicker - Public napping

NICK EICHER, HOST: If you’re a mom or a dad, you’ll try about anything to lull a fussy baby to sleep—even plopping the little one in a car seat and just driving around.

There’s something sleep-inducing about that—the gentle motion, the muffled road noise. It just works.

Well, a touring company in Hong Kong is applying the same principle to grown-ups!

Ulu travel is now offering bus tickets to nowhere.

The bus will drive passengers around the city on what it calls its “uninterrupted sleeping bus.”

Tickets start at just $13 U.S. and range up to $51 dollars with actual cabins aboard the double-decker buses.

The package includes an eye mask, to shut out the light, and ear plugs—crucially, I imagine, to protect against snoring neighbors.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
