PROFILE |
 |
As North America's #1 bus operator, Laidlaw lays rubber. The company's school buses transport more than 2 million students daily, and its Transit and Tour Services division provides daily city transportation through more than 200 contracts in the US and Canada. The company became the biggest intercity passenger carrier in North America through its 1999 purchase of Greyhound Lines. To focus on its bus operations, the debt-laden Laidlaw is looking to sell its discontinued operations: Ambulance and emergency room management units (American Medical Response and Emcare), and its 44% stake in troubled environmental services company Safety-Kleen. Laidlaw is reorganizing under bankruptcy protection.
