Legal challenges
editVamoose Bus initially served Tenleytown (near American University) and Downtown Washington, D.C., but in 2006 the company moved the stops outside the District of Columbia, after an injunction was obtained by Washington Deluxe, a competing bus line.[3]
In 2007, Vamoose Bus planned to launch a route between Boston and New York City. The company was prevented from serving this area by the Boston Transportation Department. Vamoose Bus was also unable to secure a permit in nearby Cambridge.[4]
