SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CUSA
GCBS is a private limited liability
company organized under the laws of
the State of Delaware by CUSA, LLC
(CUSA), a noncarrier, which also owns
other federally regulated motor carriers
of passengers and non-federally
regulated companies. CUSA, in turn, is
wholly owned by noncarrier KBUS
Holdings, LLC (KBUS), which acquired
the assets and business operations of
federally regulated motor carriers
formerly owned by Coach, USA, Inc.,
and then consolidated those assets/
operations into the passenger carriers
now controlled by CUSA.2 Applicant
states that the carriers in the CUSA
group have more than 4,900 employees,
operate approximately 1,500 motor
coaches and over 800 other vehicles in
38 states, and had gross revenues
exceeding $250 million in 2005.
Contactours is a motor passenger
carrier that operates principally in San
Diego and Southern California pursuant
to Federal operating authority granted in
Docket No. MC–181063. According to
applicant, CUSA’s experienced senior
management team has identified the
acquisition of Contactours as a strategic
way to expand its contract tour business
in Southern California and to extend its
Gray Line franchise operations.
Applicant has entered into an agreement
with Contactours to buy its assets,
including vehicles, business operations,
and prepaid charter trip deposits.
Under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), the Board

information, as required by 49 CFR
1182.2, including the information to
demonstrate that the proposed

Applicant states that the proposed
transaction will improve the adequacy
of transportation services available to
the public, that the proposed transaction
will not have an adverse effect on total
fixed charges, and that the interests of
employees of Contactours will not be
adversely impacted. Additional
information, including a copy of the
application, may be obtained from
Applicant’s representative.

will be deemed vacated and, unless a
final decision can be made on the record
as developed, a procedural schedule
will be adopted to reconsider the
application. See 49 CFR 1182.6(c). If no
opposing comments are filed by the
expiration of the comment period, this
notice will take effect automatically and
will be the final Board action.
