I've seen a clickable notice on our homepage for several days, but finally clicked on it today. It is a service advisory explaining that concerns about...
... I've ridden a handful and agree with Dennis - they have a nice ride. Sure liked the ride better than in a 102D3; that coach swayed from side to side way...

I am told that GLI and ATU have a tenative contract settlement, and that the curent contract has been extended through March to allow ratification. No details...
... about the G4500, which was to be their flagship, I would think that Greyhound would stick with the proven D4000/4500, especially if the electonics were...
... Yes they can - because the Series 50 has a sharp torque spike at about 1250 RPM. Some complain that the engines are very slow on takeoff, but this is just...
A couple of things about this sudden settlement: 1 - As an article on the 1983 srtike mentions, the ATU contract team has accepted "rollback" contracts before,...

I was looking at the MCI itinerary for the UMA Expo, they have hired Chubby Checker to sing the twist, lol. I wonder how much they paid him for that??? ...
Jim... You refer to the "sudden settlement". Greyhound and the union have been negotiating a contract for many months. I don't think this was a last minute,...

Obviously, no one here is to impressed with management at Laidlaw and how they are running Greyhound, down into the ground. If you get a phone call tommorow...
... Yeah right, Been there, done that. I once had an Eagle 15 that I had carpeted. After 16 charters up came the carpet. I used high quality, high traffic...

Byron, If you really want to learn the bus business from the bottom up I would suggest that you take a summer job as a bus cleaner. There is a huge demand...
Sol, Thanks for the information, I guess down here where I live, we dont see that type of thing, so we dont have to worry about it? I would imagine there is a...
Byron, I had an "LT" Model 15. It had enclosed racks, carpet on walls and ceiling, which like Sol said gets really dirty. I had put carpet on the floor to use ...
Dennis, Well, Im going to agree with you on this one. Maybe carpeting in the coach (ex-cluding the floor) would be well suited for charter ventures, but not...
... Byron, You mean to tell me that if you were in business as a charter operator, you "pick and choose" your charter customers? I do not think so. You have an...
