According to Academy Express, Go Bus and MCIZ have decided to cease acting as motor carriers. Under the proposed transaction, Academy Express seeks to acquire the interstate and intrastate operating authorities of Go Bus, its customer lists, telephone numbers, Web sites, and trade name, as well as MCIZ’s contract with the New York City Board of Education, its bus stop in New York City and its licenses for the two park-and-ride facilities in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, NY.3 Academy Express states that, if the transaction is approved, it would provide most, if not all, of the operations currently provided by Go Bus and MCIZ. Under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), the Board must approve and authorize a transaction that it finds consistent with the public interest, taking into consideration at least: (1) The effect of the proposed transaction on the adequacy of transportation to the public; (2) the total fixed charges that result; and (3) the interest of affected carrier employees. Academy Express has submitted information, as required by 49 CFR 1182.2, including the information to demonstrate that the proposed transaction is consistent with the public interest under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), and a statement pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 14303(g) that the 12-month aggregate gross operating revenues of Academy Express exceeded $2 million. With respect to the effect of the transaction on the adequacy of transportation to the public, Academy Express states that the proposed acquisition would benefit the patrons of Go Bus and MCIZ. According to Academy Express, passengers would be able to travel in newer, more comfortable, and better maintained buses, and would have more frequent service at a lower cost than was offered by Go Bus or MCIZ. Academy Express states that the proposed transaction would have little or no effect on competitive conditions in the special and charter bus markets. Academy Express states that it would compete with Greyhound Lines, Inc., Peter Pan Bus Lines, Inc., Martz Trailways, Magic Carpet Tours, and Majestic Tours, Inc., in providing service between New York City and Cambridge and Newton. Academy Express also states that it 3 According to the application, Academy Express would not acquire Go Bus and MCIZ’s buses. Instead, those buses would be conveyed to a company called ABC Companies, a noncarrier.

Academy Express states that the proposed transaction would have no effect on total fixed charges. Further, Academy Express states that the transaction would have little or no effect upon Go Bus and MCIZ’s employees, as the substantial majority of these employees would continue to be employed by the affiliate or other related entities of Go Bus, or may be offered employment with Academy Express. On the basis of the application, the Board finds that the proposed acquisition of control is consistent with the public interest and should be tentatively approved and authorized. If any opposing comments are timely filed, this finding 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.

If opposing comments are timely filed, the findings made in this notice will be deemed as having been vacated. 3.
