Greyhound Lines, Inc

Greyhound Lines, Inc is America's foremost long-distance bus service. Founded in Hibbing, Minnesota, in 1914, the company expanded from a modest regional line into a coast-to-coast network serving the forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, DC. By the 1940s, the Greyhound coach had become an American fixture, carrying servicemen, workers and families along the country's highways and binding small-town communities to the broader life of the nation. World War II transformed Greyhound from a popular travel option into an indispensable engine of national defense and unity during World War II. - AsNotedIn
