Vorlage:Infobox Bus transit Coach USA is an American transportation service provider that offers scheduled bus service, city sightseeing, tour and charter bus service, concentrating on the market in New Jersey, Rockland Coaches Inc. (Red and Tan Lines), Red and Tan-Hudson, Shortline, southern New York, eastern and western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and the Chicago and Milwaukee areas. Coach USA is a division of the Stagecoach Group, an international transport operator based in Scotland, Great Britain.
Its services are primarily based in New Jersey, providing charter services and route services, much of it subsidized by or operated under contract to New Jersey Transit, using buses provided by or leased from NJ Transit (such as the picture in this article). Other companies owned outside of New Jersey include Butler Motor Transit, Central Cab, Lenzner Coach Lines, Mountineer Coach, Park Tours, sightseeing operations in Pittsburgh, Chicago, and (under Coach Canada) Montreal, and Wisconsin Coach Lines.
In the midwestern United States, the Megabus brand was launched in the United States with a network of services based on Chicago and Indianapolis. The first services will operate between Chicago and Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Louisville, Kansas City and St. Louis. Services will also operate between Indianapolis and Cincinnati, and between Indianapolis and Columbus. The services will be operated by, and coaches owned by, Coach USA.
Coach USA should not be confused with Coach America, which has many coaches painted and lettered for Coach USA, but is actually a completely separate company that was separated from the parent company around 2001-2002. Coach America (formerly CUSA) operates former Coach USA services in the rest of the country and does not operate in areas where Coach USA currently operates.
