FirstGroup sells bulk of US transport business in $4bn deal
Transport operator’s shares rise 10% as it announces plans to focus on UK bus and rail
With First Group essentially exiting the North American market entirely and Greyhound Canada ceasing operations, now may be a good time for American bus companies to step up to the plate and offer real value and competition to the airlines and Amtrak. Personally, I think rail would be a very costly boondoggle as opposed to improving bus service in the US and Canada.
