“Our team is quite excited to be able to build Greyhound buses again. We greatly value our long-standing relationship with Greyhound and are appreciative that they have chosen Prevost as their brand of choice,” says Francois Tremblay, Prevost vice president/general manager. “We believe product quality and exceptional service support made all the difference in their decision.”
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with Prevost over the next few years. The quality of buses they produce will help us to keep setting the highest standard for transporting customers across North America,” said Dave Leach, Greyhound president & CEO. “Our customers desire to travel in the safest and most comfortable bus available; motorcoaches from Prevost allow us to fulfill that need for them.”

“It is always a pleasure to work with our long-term partners at Greyhound & First Group. A true team effort went into the bid process that brought us to securing this contract and our relationship with GLI will continue to be a team effort stated Jack Forbes, Prevost vice president, North American Sales.

Active in the industry for 14 years, Rich is looking to take the collective industry knowledge he’s accumulated and use it to create a new and exciting company.
“I look forward to maintaining and building solid relationships with clients and affiliates. In fact, the company’s name—derived from Chauffeured Transportation Network—is a reflection of my many loyal partners within the United States and abroad who we depend on to maintain the service levels we promise our clients with each trip—no matter where it is taking place,” he says.
With an initial focus on group work, CTN Global is now active in airport and point-to-point transfers, serving Hartsfield Jackson International Airport as well as all FBOs in the metro Atlanta area. Rich’s vision is to provide unparalleled service in all sectors, while still remaining client-focused and competitively priced.
“I do not want to be the largest in Atlanta, but I do want to be one of the best,” says Rich. “Larger is not always better.”
In addition to working to ensure that every ride is professional and on time, CTN Global places a great deal of emphasis on the front and back ends of every trip: the reservation and billing processes.
According to Jessica Buckles, the company’s director of operations, “The actual transportation is only part of the process. Confirmations and status updates are a must for every single trip. And ride receipts always go out within 24 hours, which is what our partners are looking for. Our online booking system is fast and easy, and our clients love it.”
Also on CTN Global’s team is Eric Jeffries, vice president of sales, who has a background in the industry and more than three decades of sales experience.
“CTN affords us the opportunity to build a company that sets itself apart by an unparalleled level of customer service,” Jeffries says.
