Applicant asserts the following facts 

about Queen City: 

• Queen City is an Ohio limited 

liability company. It operates primarily 

as a provider of non-regulated school 

bus transportation services in the area of 

Cincinnati, Ohio. Queen City also 

provides interstate and intrastate charter 

services under the assumed names, 

Charter Bus Services and Klug Bus 

Services. For purposes of its interstate 

passenger operations, it holds interstate 

carrier authority under MC–163846. 

Applicant states that all of the issued 

and outstanding membership interest of 

Queen City is owned and held by Haid 

Acquisitions LLC (Seller), an Ohio 

limited liability company, of which 

Aaron M. Haid, an individual, is the 

sole member. Applicant further states 

that neither the Seller nor Mr. Haid has 

any direct or indirect ownership interest 

in any other interstate passenger motor 

carrier and that Queen City is not 

affiliated with any other passenger 

carriers that have interstate operating 

authority. 

Applicant asserts that National 

Express would acquire all of the 

outstanding membership interest in 

Queen City, resulting in 100% control of 

Queen City through the membership 

acquisition. Applicant further states 

that, other than the National Express 

Affiliated Carriers and Queen City, there 

are no other affiliated carriers with 

regulated interstate operations that are 

involved in this application. 

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. Applicant submitted 

information, as required by 49 CFR 

1182.2, including information to 

demonstrate that the proposed 

transaction is consistent with the public 

interest under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), see 49 

CFR 1182.2(a)(7), and a statement that 

the aggregate gross operating revenues 

of the National Express Affiliated 

Carriers and Queen City exceeded $2 

million for the preceding 12-month 

period consistent with 49 U.S.C. 

14303(g), see 49 CFR 1182.2(a)(5). 

Applicant submits that the proposed 

transaction would have no material 

impact on the adequacy of 

transportation services to the public, as 

Queen City would continue to provide 

the services it currently provides using 

the same names. Applicant states that 

Queen City ‘‘will continue to operate, 

but going forward, will be operating 

within the National Express corporate 

family, an organization already 

thoroughly experienced in passenger 

transportation operations.’’ (Appl. 14.) 

According to Applicant, ‘‘[t]he 

addition of Queen City to the carriers 

held by National Express is consistent 

with the practices within the passenger 

motor carrier industry of strong, wellmanaged transportation organizations 

adapting their corporate structure to 

operate several different passenger 

carriers within the same market, but in 

different geographic areas.’’ (Id.) 

Applicant asserts that Queen City is 

experienced in some of the same market 

segments already served by some of the 

National Express Affiliated Carriers. 

Applicant expects the transaction to 

result in operating efficiencies and cost 

savings derived from economies of 

scale, all of which, Applicant states, 

would help to ensure the provision of 

adequate service to the public. (Id.) 

Applicant further asserts that bringing 

Queen City within the National Express 

corporate family would serve to 

enhance the viability of the overall 

organization and the operations of the 

National Express Affiliated Carriers, 

which would ensure the continued 

availability of adequate passenger 

transportation service for the public. 

(Id.) 

Applicant also claims that neither 

competition nor the public interest 

would be adversely affected by the 

contemplated transaction. Applicant 

states that Queen City is ‘‘a relatively 

small carrier in the overall markets in 

which it competes: unregulated 

metropolitan school bus operations and 

regulated motor coach passenger charter 

services.’’ (Id. at 16.) Applicant states 

that, with respect to Queen City’s school 

bus operations, it competes directly 

with First Student, Inc., and other 

school bus service providers in the 

Cincinnati metropolitan area. It further 

explains that there are a number of 

motor coach passenger charter services 

in the Cincinnati metropolitan area, 

resulting in a very competitive market. 

(Id.) Applicant also explains that there 

is limited overlap in service areas and/ 

or in customer bases among the National 

Express Affiliated Carriers and Queen 

City. (Id.) Thus, Applicant states that 

the impact of the contemplated 

transaction on the regulated motor 

carrier industry would be minimal at 

most and that neither competition nor 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
52094 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 216 / Thursday, November 9, 2017 / Notices 

the public interest would be adversely 

affected. 

Applicant asserts that there are no 

significant fixed charges associated with 

the contemplated transaction. Applicant 

also states that it does not anticipate a 

measurable reduction in force or 

changes in compensation levels or 

benefits to employees. Applicant 

submits, however, that staffing 

redundancies could result in limited 

downsizing of back-office or managerial 

level personnel. 

The Board finds that the acquisition 

proposed in the application is 

consistent with the public interest and 

should be tentatively approved and 

authorized. If any opposing comments 

are timely filed, these findings 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. 

This action is categorically excluded 

from environmental review under 49 

CFR 1105.6(c). 

Board decisions and notices are 

available on our Web site at 

‘‘WWW.STB.GOV’’. 

It is ordered: 

1. The proposed transaction is 

approved and authorized, subject to the 

filing of opposing comments. 

2. If opposing comments are timely 

filed, the findings made in this notice 

will be deemed vacated. 

3. This notice will be effective 

December 27, 2017, unless opposing 

comments are filed by December 26, 

2017.
