Bill seeks bailout for the $15 billion industry that carries 600 million passengers annually.

“Buses were the only form of passenger transportation that were left out,” Pantuso said. “We were very disappointed, and we've been going up to Congress, literally every day we’re on the phone with members of Congress, their staffs, their committees, talking about the help that this industry needs.”

Commuter service, however, may be the first source of revenue for the industry to return. Maryland, for example, is planning to resume normal operations July 27. Still, that’s only a small portion of the industry’s business.
