Stagecoach Holdings plc
 PROFILE
Highwaymen? Whatever. Stagecoach Holdings has never apologized for driving rivals off the road. It has grown into an international transportation conglomerate with more than 30 subsidiaries that operate buses, railway units, ferries, and airport services businesses. You can take a Stagecoach bus ride in Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Portugal, the US, and, of course, the UK (where it operates more than 7,580 buses). Sibling-founders Ann Gloag and Brian Souter, who own 20% of the company, have been called everything but highwaymen for the rapid acquisitions that made Stagecoach the UK's #1 bus and train company. However, the company is buckling under the weight of its purchase of charter operator Coach USA.
