has some information but is of course not a reliable source.

Possibly full list of bus companies in DC:
 * The Alexandria, Barcroft & Washington; the Washington, Virginia & Maryland Coach Co., Inc.; the Washington, Marlboro & Annapolis Motor Lines; and the Capital Transit Co. Those four clearly would be covered.
 * I think very likely, as I understand it, the Oriole Motor Coach Lines and Bison Lines, two small lines, might also be concerned.
 * In addition to those lines which would be excluded as we understand these bills, there would be Atlantic Greyhound Corp., Atwood's Transport Lines, Blue & Gray, Blue Ridge Transportation Co., Capital Greyhound Lines, Montgomery Bus Lines, Pennsylvania Greyhound Lines, Richmond Greyhound, Safeway Trails, Southern Maryland Lines, and Virginia Stage Lines.
