From what I've gathered, it sounds like they're not buying the stations/station infrastructure as part of the deal. This generally matches their curbside pickup style of operation, though there'll certainly be a few people who will be frustrated with the lack of a ticket counter to purchase tickets or having a place to wait indoors during a layover.

Overall, though, I think this is nearly the best-case scenario for Greyhound and keeping as much of their network alive as possible. There's certainly going to be changes and transition pains, but at least it's been purchased by a company that appears to want to run buses (and other ground transportation - I believe they have a small rail network in Europe) and appears to have ambitions to grow its relevance within the US. Greyhound hasn't had that ambition recently, and I could've easily seen it either discontinued entirely or bought by a firm who had little desire to actually run a bus company.
