Greyhound Lines

Greyhound Lines è un'azienda di trasporto passeggeri statunitense che collega su gomma numerose destinazioni attraverso il Nordamerica. Dall'ottobre 2007 Greyhound è una filiale della compagnia di trasporti britannica FirstGroup, ma continua ad avere sede a Dallas, in Texas, dove c'è la sede principale dal 1987. Il 21 ottobre 2021, FirstGroup ha venduto la compagnia a Flixbus per 172 milioni di dollari (circa 150 milioni di euro). Storia L'azienda fu fondata nel 1914 a Hibbing (Minnesota) da un immigrato svedese, Carl Wickman, che all'epoca gestiva con il suo automezzo un servizio di trasporto di operai che lavoravano nella vicina miniera di ferro. Dopo la graduale entrata in società di altri autotrasportatori, che effettuavano servizi analoghi nelle regioni vicine, nel 1926 si costituisce la Greyhound Corporation, con sede statunitense a Dallas e con sede canadese a Calgary. Il logo dell'azienda raffigura un levriero inglese, detto appunto greyhound, animale conosciuto per la sua velocità e per questo utilizzato anche nei cinodromi. Gli automezzi della Greyhound servono circa 2400 destinazioni negli Stati Uniti e 1400 in Canada. Parallelamente al trasporto passeggeri, la società ha sviluppato un servizio di trasporto colli.

Greyhound Lines

Greyhound Lines – amerykańskie przedsiębiorstwo przewozowe obsługujące dalekobieżne trasy autobusowe w Stanach Zjednoczonych z siedzibą w Dallas. Historia Greyhound, założony przez Carla Wickmana, powstał w 1913 roku w stanie Minnesota. W 1926 roku właściciel połączył kilka przedsiębiorstw komunikacyjnych i utworzył Motor Transit Corporation, która cztery lata później przemianowana została na Greyhound Corporation. Nazwę „Greyhound” firma zawdzięcza szaremu kolorowi swych autobusów. Podczas wielkiego kryzysu zwiększyła się znacząco liczba przewożonych pasażerów, w czym pomogły targi światowe w Chicago w 1933 roku. Podczas drugiej wojny światowej firma notowała zyski w wysokości 10 milionów dolarów rocznie, obsługując 6 tysięcy miast i przewożąc 25% pasażerów wszystkich linii autobusowych w USA. Zajmowała się również w tym okresie przewozem robotników do stoczni i fabryk amunicji. Od lat 60. XX w. firma zdywersyfikowała działalność, zakupując między innymi przedsiębiorstwa Booth Leasing (1962) i Armour Foods (1970). W 1983 roku doszło do 47-dniowego strajku kierowców, który skończył się zaakceptowaniem przez kierowców piętnastoprocentowego obniżenia zarobków. W latach 1980–1985 liczba pasażerów Greyhounda spadła o 55%. Zmienił się również wizerunek firmy: zdemolowane dworce stały się miejscem zamieszkania bezdomnych, infrastruktura była zdewastowana, a firma nie cieszyła się dobrą sławą. W 1990 roku, po kolejnym strajku kierowców, stanęła na skraju bankructwa, którego uniknęła, redukując tabor z 3700 do 2400 autobusów. W 1994 roku przedsiębiorstwo miało 65,5 miliona dolarów straty. W 1997 roku firma wypracowała zysk po raz pierwszy od 1993 roku; był to najbardziej dochodowy rok od dziesięciu lat. Obecnie właścicielem Greyhound Lines jest brytyjskie przedsiębiorstwo komunikacyjne FirstGroup. Firma W roku 2014 obsługiwała ponad 3800 miejscowości 1229 autobusami. Dziennie przedsiębiorstwo wykonuje 18 tys. kursów, firma zatrudnia 6500 osób, a przewozy sięgają ponad 8 mld pasażerokilometrów rocznie. Przedsiębiorstwo obsługuje 48 stanów USA i dziesięć prowincji Kanady. Przypisy
Greyhound Lines

Greyhound Lines, Inc. é uma empresa de transporte rodoviário de passageiros norte-americana. Os ônibus da Greyhound ficaram famosos mundialmente através de vários filmes de Hollywood, onde seus carros apareceram mostrando o famoso logo do cão Galgo Inglês. Atende 2.400 destinos na América do Norte (Estados Unidos, Canadá e México), com quase 16 milhões de passageiros anualmente (dados de 2019). Com declínio de faturamento, pois em 2016 eram 25 milhões de passageiros, a empresa foi adquirida, em 2021, pela FlixMobilit. História A empresa foi fundada em 1914, em Hibbing, Minnesota pelo imigrante sueco Carl Eric Wickman (1887-1954, ex-operador de sonda para mineração), depois que sua empresa de franquia de automóveis faliu (subsidiária da Hupmobile). Com o fracasso da empresa, Wickman uniu-se a Andy Anderson e começou a oferecer transporte intermunicipal, com o seu carro, entre a cidade de Hibbing e o distrito de Alice (região com mineradoras). Rapidamente, Wickman trocou o veículo, agora um carro de turismo com 8 lugares e 20 anos de uso, e cobrava 15 centavos de dólares a passagem. Em 1915, entrou na sociedade Ralph Bogan, que já possuía uma empresa semelhante, e criaram a linha Hibbing - Duluth. Ao final do ano, o lucro era de US$ 8.000,00 . Passados quatro anos, em 1918, a companhia já tinha 18 ônibus e lucrava US$ 40 mil anuais. O símbolo do cão começou em 1921, quando a empresa comprou alguns ônibus da Fageol Motors, que eram de aparência elegante e pintura cinza, recebendo o apelido de cão galgo para estes veículos. O logotipo com o cão só foi adotado a partir de 1929. Com a Grande Depressão e a crise econômica da década de 1930, a General Motors assumiu US$ 1 milhão de dívidas da Greyhound, mostrando que a Greyhound já era uma grande empresa dos EUA. Em 1941, começo a operar no Canadá. Em 1990, em dificuldades financeiras, seus empregados entraram em greve que durou três anos. Em 1991, a empresa entrou num programa de recuperação judicial com apoio governamental. Em 2007, a empresa foi vendida para a FirstGroup (grupo multinacional de transporte britânico, com sede em Aberdeen, Escócia) e estabeleceu sua nova sede na cidade de Dallas, Texas. Em outubro de 2021, a Greyhound foi comprada pela FlixMobilit (startup alemã de serviços de ônibus intermunicipal com sede na cidade de Munique, na Alemanha).
