Sky Express May Have Defied Feds

The Takeaway
The World

The Sky Express Bus Company was shut down by the U.S. government last week after one of its buses turned over on a Virginia highway, killing four people and injuring more than 50 others. Transportation Nation’s Jim O’Grady says that Sky Express may have defied the Feds’ orders and continued to operate its buses under a different name. This is a common problem called “reincarnation.” Bus companies are shutdown and reopen under a new name, selling the same routes and simply repainting the buses.
