Van Galder Coach USA Shake-Up

[renardo870]

Van Galder's Rockford routes are expected to continue even as parent company Coach USA sells the bus line amid bankruptcy. https://www.rrstar.com/story/news/local/2024/06/18/bus-company-serving-rockford-is-being-sold-in-bankruptcy/74077601007/

While at the MMF at O'Hare today, I saw a couple of Van Galder Coach USA buses.  The decals listed Wisconsin Transit Lines LLC Janesville,  WI as operator.   

From what I could find,  the Renco Group purchased Coach USA after Coach USA filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.  The acquisition includes Negabus and Coach Canada.  The transaction occurred about a year ago.  

I didn't see any Milwaukee bound buses, but one bus going to Beloit, Janesville,  and Madison, with the other bus only serving Rockford. I would have liked to have seen the decals on a Milwaukee area bus. To my knowledge,  it's still Wisconsin Coach Lines.

BTW, Van Galder still appears on the sides and the front bumper of the buses.
