Many weekday afternoons since then, the once-tranquil street has looked like some thing out of the Le Mans 24-Hour Race, and during the rest of the day, when the wide, one-way street is lightly traveled, like a drag strip.

But because of heavy competition, the line has been offering one-way coach tickets, with no strings attached, for only $119, a $90 round-trip saving over its own supersaver fare...
