Greyhound Lines, Inc.

Greyhound Lines, Inc.
Empresa estadounidense proveedora del principal servicio de autobuses interurbanos en EE.UU. y Canadá.

Fue fundada en 1926 con la razón social Motor Transit Management. Con el apoyo de los ferrocarriles, la empresa logró formar pronto una red de recorridos en todo el país. Adoptó esta razón social en 1930. En 1933, sus recorridos abarcaban 65.000 km (40.000 mi). Debido a la liberalización de las normas de la industria del trasporte por autobús a principios de la década de 1980, Greyhound tuvo que dejar de operar muchos recorridos locales. En 1987, Greyhound Corp. vendió su negocio de autobuses y Greyhound Lines Inc., se transformó en una sociedad independiente de transporte interurbano de pasajeros. En 1999 fue comprada por Laidlaw Inc., una compañía canadiense dedicada al manejo de desechos.
