Greyhound was originally incorporated in 1926 as Motor Transit Corp., renamed Greyhound Corp. in 1930. During the 1930's, various Greyhound companies emerged throughout the United States, either wholly or partially owned by Greyhound Corp., or as separate franchise companies. With franchise agreements, companies would remain separate, while benefitting from nationwide name recognition, and through ticketing and scheduling. Several Greyhound companies were significantly controlled by various railroads.
