A few corrections:

According to [www.coachamericamedia.com] Renzenberger is being purchased by Coach America Holdings, Inc. Coach America and CoachUSA are two separate companies.

CoachUSA is owned by Stagecoach Group, and originally owned what is now known as Coach America (essentially the west coast operations of CoachUSA). Several years ago Stagecoach was unhappy with the U.S. performance, and split CoachUSA into two companies. The Northeast operations are still known as CoachUSA, and still owned by Stagecoach.

Coach America (which still uses the Coach USA name but is phasing it out) is NOT owned by Stagecoach, IS a completely separate entity, and IS buying Renzenberger. Both Coach America and CoachUSA operate the same type of business (motorcoaches - charter, line haul, tours) and are actually beginning to compete with each other (for example Coach USA is beinging MegaBus to Los Angeles which is in Coach America territory).

As for the Amtrak Thruway busses, the Coach America affilate in Portland, RAZ Transportation, does not do any work for Amtrak whatsoever. Amtrak (WSDOT, ODOT) contracts with about three or four different companies (Greyhound included) but RAZ does not do anything. RAZ's primary business is handling the casino shuttles between Portland and Spirit Mountain Casino, corporate shuttles (i.e. Nike, Intel, and Lewis & Clark College - all operated by RAZ), regular charters and some tour operations. They have bailed out Greyhound more than once.
