Question: What Dallas-based company operates the largest intercity bus network in the United States?

Answer: Greyhound. The company was founded in Minnesota in 1914 by Swedish Eric Wickman, who transported iron ore miners living in Hibbing to their work site in nearby Alice. The company adopted its current name in 1930. Before relocating to Dallas in 1987, Greyhound was based in Phoenix, Chicago, and Duluth. Since 2021, the company has been owned by the parent company of German carrier FlixBus.
