First there were maid trains, and that was great.
But now? Butler trains.
A butler café in Tokyo by the name of Swallowtail has partnered with the Kinki Nippon Tourist agency and started selling tickets for a "Butler's Express" train service, very similar to the maid trains. The butlers catering to women and featuring pretty boys serving you lunch and afternoon tea. Twenty butlers will fill the train, serving a maximum of 200 passengers for an entire day-long trip on a seven car train.
Each train must have a minimum of 150 applicants (though I'm sure reaching that number will be no problem), and each one will have to pay 18,900 yen which is about $225. This trip features butlers from the actual cafe in Ikebukuro, which has its original location on Otome Road (Maiden Road.)
It's about time for a butler train! I think it's a good idea, considering how popular maid and butler cafes are in the first place. What about you? Does this sound like a profitable idea or just a way to sponge off of the success of the aforementioned maid trains?
