   Seems a company called Wayzata Investment Partners has purchaced 60% of Amboy Bus... They specialize on buying companies in distress and  try and make them profitable..Atlantic Express has sent out letters to all their employees telling them as of 12/31/13 they will be out of work unless they can come up with 40 million dolllars in savings..Now can this happen You tell me as they are still under contract with D.O.E  untill 2015...Not sure but this might pertain to Super Storm Sandy and his loss at Surf Ave Yard and at North Street Yard and his law suit with insurance co.  or just a crook

I work for AE, It's possible that it might be a ploy to get us to sign a contract. We'll wait and see.
