NY Times article on the Chinese bus companies

BTW, according to the article, they do carry adequate insurance, and have not been found to have significant safety problems.</font>
Thanks for the article link... The owner of one of the bus companies claims to be able to make a profit if he sells out of tickets. Problem is that he is undervaluing his own labor and has a captive pool of drivers who are making only a fair wage. Fair because it is still better than working in a restaurant but less than what the person could earn driving for Greyhound.
