Normally, the motorcoach industry pulls in more than $15 billion annually; this year it's on track to bring in $4 billion, according to American Bus Association CEO Pete Pantuso.

, D-R.I., have introduced a $10 billion aid package for the bus industry that would include help for school bus companies and passenger boats. A version has also been introduced in the House.

"It's just a disaster," Pantuso said. "Not only do these companies, and these families who have been running them for multi-generations, lose out, but the American public loses out because they lose a major part of the transportation network." New York Trailways used to offer at least 26 buses from Kingston to New York every day. Now it offers five.

The intercity bus company normally operates 130 motorcoaches throughout New York state and into Canada. "Today we're running less than 25% of our service with far less revenue," Berardi said.
