One ticket seller, nine active bus companies, 13 companies already ordered to stop running, and three companies attempting to apply for operating authority were part of a federal operation that has shut down companies including Apex, and New Century Travel - each with stops here in Chinatown. As of writing, Apex was still selling tickets on its website.
Ray LaHood called the companies "fly-by-night," and accused them of having "very, very poorly equipped buses." "We want people to know when they get on a bus that it's safe," LaHood told WTOP this morning. "This is just the beginning. The investigations continue and we may do more shutdowns in the future."
