   @moffintosh And which private equity firm might that be? In particular, who owns it?

     @Zerglingman @moffintosh What is the scheme? What are they going to try and force people towards with buses being eliminated?
     Quick looks, Greyhound was just bought in 2021 by a major European transit company Flixbus, this is a quick reselling.

     Another reading shows a UK company help Greyhound since 2007 and sold off part of it to Flix and part of it to a compang called EQT. What ever that is may be the private equity firm, all occuring back in 2021.
