ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
     The Company is incorporated in Delaware. Under Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, a Delaware corporation has the power,
under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees
and agents in connection with actions, suits or proceedings brought against them
by a third party or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that
they were or are such directors, officers, employees or agents, against expenses
incurred in any such action, suit or proceeding. Article Sixth of the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides for mandatory
indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Reference is made to the
Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed as exhibit 4.1 hereto.
 
     Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating
or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a
director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation
or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 (relating to liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions
of, or dividends on, capital stock) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. Article Seventh of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, a director of the Company shall not be
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person thereof in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by a director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered
pursuant to this Registration Statement, the Company will, unless in the opinion
of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Greyhound Lines, Inc.
15110 North Dallas Parkway, Suite 600
Dallas, Texas  75248

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                 We have acted as counsel to Greyhound Lines, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (No. 33-61331) (the "Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the proposed offering of up to
10,004,144 shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company
(the "Common Stock"), of which up to 4,000,000 shares will be issued and sold
by the Company (the "Company Shares") and up to 6,004,144 shares will be sold
by an existing stockholder (the "Selling Stockholder") of the Company (the
"Secondary Shares").  The Secondary Shares will be sold, and the Company Shares
will be issued and sold, pursuant to a Selling Agency Agreement (the
"Agreement") to be entered into among the Company, the Selling Stockholder and
Rothschild Inc.

                 In so acting, we have examined originals or copies, certified
or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company, as amended, the form of Agreement filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement, and such corporate records, agreements,
documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents
of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and
have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives as we have deemed
relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

                 In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of
all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.  As to all questions of
fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we
have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and
representatives of the

Company.  We have also assumed for the purposes hereof that the Agreement will
be executed in substantially the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

                 Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications
stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

                 1.       The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

                 2.       Upon adoption by the Board of Directors of the
Company or a duly authorized committee thereof of resolutions establishing the
final terms upon which the Company Shares will be issued and sold, the Company
Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the purchasers
thereof against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Agreement,
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

                 3.       The Secondary Shares are duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

                 The opinions expressed herein are limited to the corporate
laws of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion as to the effect on
the matters covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

                 The opinions expressed herein are rendered solely for your
benefit in connection with the transactions described herein.  Those opinions
may not be used or relied upon by any other person, nor may this letter or any
copies thereof be furnished to a third party, filed with a governmental agency,
quoted, cited or otherwise referred to without our prior written consent,
except that we hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement.  Consent also is given to the reference to this
firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus forming a part of the
Registration Statement.
