Greyhound Lines, Inc.
 PROFILE
The old grey dog is the only one on the track. A subsidiary of #1 North American bus company Laidlaw, Greyhound Lines is the largest bus firm in the US and the only one with a regular intercity schedule. Greyhound carries more than 24 million passengers yearly to more than 3,700 destinations in the US and Canada with a fleet of almost 2,900 buses. Greyhound also provides additional service into Mexico. Passengers are typically low- to middle-income consumers who pay cash for tickets on the day of departure. In addition to its intercity routes, Greyhound offers charter buses, food service at many of its terminals, and express package delivery. Laidlaw announced it will no longer finance Greyhound's long-term debt.
