“Prevost is well-regarded in the industry,” said Matthew Cassidy, Coach Atlantic Maritime Bus president, “a company with a reliable product, and a tremendous support team to keep our buses on the road.” The 10 new coaches were put into service Tuesday, June 7, Cassidy reported. “We had everything lined up,” Cassidy said. “We wanted those coaches on the road this Tuesday. Not in three weeks. Tuesday.”
 

During the meeting, Coach Atlantic Maritime Bus Owner Mike Cassidy remarked on the personal and business COVID-19 stress all the stakeholders in the motorcoach industry have endured.
