Trailways remnant links with FlixBus/Greyhound

[Willbridge]

The press release focuses on Greyhound, but it's really about the remaining Trailways lines getting into the FlixBus sales system.

I have believed for some time that the various states weigh and inspection stations need to bring in buses for inspection as well

Well that's certainly a 180° turn for the Berardi family. Wasn't too long ago that they ended their relationship with Greyhound over various issues. I wonder if their separation hurt them, or if Flix sweetened the deal?

I was surprised, too, given the way that all parties were behaving. It reminded me of Pacific Trailways vs. Greyhound Lines. It could be that the new leadership of Flix starting with a clean slate helped.

My dad liked to point out zig-zag behavior by Greyhound -- half the time everyone is dealing with the Good Dog that's cooperating with others and spending money wisely and then there's the Bad Dog ordering smaller companies around, pulling out of things abruptly, refusing to cooperate, spending money on things like moving from Cleveland to Phoenix, etc.

In dealing with them in my career I found this view helpful. Realizing that their behavior was nothing personal let me concentrate on the matter at hand.
