Coach America, also doing business as American Coach, is an American bus service owned by Fenway Partners operating under the Coach America, American Coach Lines, and Gray Line names (at some locations, subsidiaries operate under their own pre-existing branding). Coach America consists largely of all former Coach USA operations except for the midwest and New Jersey.
