                     GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


ITEM 5.      OTHER EVENTS

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On May 9, 2000, a lawsuit was filed by two holders of 8-1/2% Redeemable
Preferred Stock alleging: (i) that Greyhound Lines, Inc. (the "Company"), in
violation of federal securities laws, materially misrepresented facts, and
omitted reference to material facts, with respect to the conversion rights of
holders of the Redeemable Preferred Stock and (ii) that the Company was in
breach of the rights of holders of Redeemable Preferred Stock as contained in
the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The suit sought recovery
from the Company of the conversion payments relating to the Redeemable Preferred
Stock held by the plaintiffs, totaling $17.4 million, costs, attorneys' fees and
interest. Laidlaw Inc., the Company's parent company, was also named as a
defendant in the suit. Plaintiffs allege that Laidlaw tortiously interfered with
the Company's obligations to the plaintiffs and sought injunctive relief, actual
and punitive damages, costs, attorneys' fees and interest. The suit, Reliant
Trading and Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch v. Greyhound Lines, Inc. and Laidlaw
Inc., is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Wisconsin, Civil Action 00-C-0656. On May 31, 2000, another holder of Redeemable
Preferred Stock, Silverado Arbitrage Trading Ltd., filed a motion with the Court
seeking to intervene in the lawsuit. Silverado sought recovery of conversion
payments totaling $4.9 million, costs, attorneys' fees and interest from the
Company and sought injunctive relief, actual and punitive damages, costs,
attorneys' fees and interest as to Laidlaw.

On June 8 and 15, 2000, the Company and Laidlaw reached separate confidential
settlements with the plaintiffs and Silverado whereby they will receive
payments from the Company of the conversion amounts for their Redeemable
Preferred Stock, together with interest accruing from May 1, 2000, in weekly
installments through August 30, 2000. Pending fulfillment of the Company's
obligations under the settlements, the foregoing litigation has been stayed.
