Carriers Enhance Motor Coach Service
As Greyhound prepares to move from its longtime Downtown bus station to the airport area this month, another change under way in the Memphis motor coach market reflects broader changes in the business nationally.

Greyhound Lines Inc. and Megabus.com are each launching express bus service to and from Atlanta hubs this month.
