Greyhound's parent company operates trains in this fashion in Europe, so should be able to adapt...

This whole situation is likely also tied to the overbuilding of railways in the early 20th Century that led to an oversupply and than an almost immediate collapse of most inter-city service by the 1950s.  I would be interested to know how other countries handle intercity bus services.  How do they guarantee a certain level of service? Do they have modern franchises that come up for frequent renewal that offers the opportunity for other private operators to make competing bids?  For instance, does Greyhound's parent company offer inter-city bus service in Europe?
