"Business Car Service promised to provide as an escort an actual police car and two traffic policemen for eight hours at a cost of only $900. The car is equipped with a siren and, most important, a flashing blue light to get you places fast."
$900/day for traffic-free existence? Sounds very reasonable for your run-of-the-mill oil mogul... If I had to live the traffic-hell of Moscow, I'd do it (if I were an oil mogul, that is). What are the deluxe services, I wonder? and how much?
