Over $3.25 Million Paid by Greyhound to Individuals in Disability Settlement

The Department of Justice today announced payments by Greyhound Lines, Inc.
totaling $2,966,000 to over 2,100 individuals who experienced disability
discrimination while traveling or attempting to travel on Greyhound. The
payments were part of a broader settlement from 2016 resolving the
Department's complaint that Greyhound, the nation's largest provider of
intercity bus transportation, engaged in a nationwide pattern or practice of
violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by failing to provide
full and equal transportation services to passengers with disabilities.  The
$2,966,000 amount is in addition to $300,000 paid by Greyhound in 2016 to
specific individuals identified by the Department, bringing the total
distributed to individuals to over $3,250,000. To read the press release
