Who is Americanos USA? Not just another penniless tour bus company...

Posted on Mar 18, 2010

The bus that crashed in Campbellton, Texas on March 16, 2010 was operated by Americanos USA, which is a subsidiary of Greyhound. 

In recent news concerning tour bus crashes, many times we hear that the tour bus company was some "fly by night" outfit or small foreign operator, and, therefore, many times will not be able to even come close to fairly paying claims of the bus crash victims.

Although "Americanos USA" sounds like it could very well be a small time operator, nothing could be further from the truth. 

According to the Americanos USA database kept by the U.S. Department of Transportation, this company is quite sizable.

For example:

* In 2008 alone, the company's buses traveled 18,540,000 miles;
* Americanos operates 137 buses;
* This tour bus company employs 210 drivers;

This information is relevant to the Campbellton bus crash for at least two reasons.

First, this company will have extensive insurance and company assets to pay claims in a bus crash as serious as the one which occurred on March 16, 2010.

Second, a company of this size will be held to a high standard of care in terms of training is bus drivers as well as maintaining its buses.  Reports are surfacing that this crash may have been equipment-related, so the maintenance issue will certainly be important.
