  • Answer of Defendants Sabre Corporation and Sabre Glbl Inc

Defendants Sabre Corporation and Sabre GLBL Inc. (together, “Sabre”) by and through their undersigned counsel, answer as follows the allegations of the Complaint filed on August 20, 2019 (the “Complaint”), by the United States (“Plaintiff”). Except for those allegations expressly admitted herein, Sabre denies each and every allegation in the Complaint. Except as noted herein, Sabre lacks knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the allegations regarding statements made in internal documents by Farelogix, Inc. (“Farelogix”), or any other allegations regarding non-public statements, commercial plans, or intentions of companies other than Sabre’s. Sabre expressly denies that Plaintiff is entitled to the relief requested or any other relief. Sabre reserves the right to amend this Answer. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT Plaintiff claims that Sabre’s acquisition of Farelogix (the “Acquisition”) is “a dominant firm’s attempt to eliminate a disruptive competitor.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Case 1:19-cv-01548-LPS Document 22 Filed 09/10/19 Page 2 of 35 PageID #: 62 First, Sabre is not dominant. It is one of three major global distribution systems (“GDSs”) in the world. In fact, it is not even the largest GDS in the world—Amadeus is the leading global GDS, and Sabre competes against it, Travelport and others to serve both airline and travel agency customers.

This year’s Outlook for the Intercity Bus Industry report draws attention to some of the industry’s changing fundamentals while also looking at notable developments anticipated this year and beyond. Our analysis evaluates the industry in six areas: i) The status of bus travel booking through January 2021; ii) Notable marketing and service developments of 2020; iii) The decline of the national bus network sold on greyhound.com that is relied upon by travelers on thousands of routes across the U.S.

Introduction Greyhound has a strong interest in creating and maintaining successful interline relationships with coordinated rural feeder services that are meaningful for customers and make sense for both Greyhound and the rural feeder service partner. This is demonstrated by the company’s efforts in: • Helping clarify and lower Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) insurance levels for rural transportation agencies • Creating a special National Bus Traffic Association (NBTA) “sponsored transit category” with minimal costs & hassles. NBTA is a non-profit revenue clearinghouse for interlined bus operators. • Effectively working one-on-one with rural transportation agencies to help them establish feeder services Greyhound initiated a service, called the Greyhound Rural Connection Program, in the late 1980’s. The program linked over 80 rural transit agencies in 17 states and added more than 800 communities to the intercity bus network. Many of those agencies continue to provide their customers with informal access to the nearest Greyhound terminal or station even today. But those efforts were limited by: • Insufficient Federal funding and support • Lack of a flexible ticketing solution • Sophisticated fare and schedule information technology As the 5311(f) program evolved from ISTEA to SAFETEA-LU, Federal funding and guidance has improved dramatically, flexible ticketing solutions now exist, and fare and schedule information technology has seen tremendous advances --- so much so that rural feeder services can now be effectively implemented and operated in meaningful ways for the traveling public.
