Large Groups
Most bus services in the United Kingdom are run by the Big 5, five large groups of companies which emerged in the 1990s from the consolidation of bus companies privatised in the 1980s. These groups are all focussed on transport. Some of them also run rail services, express coach services and overseas transport companies.

Famous quotes containing the words large and/or groups:
“On the wings of fancy, gentle readers, bear yourselves into the mid-air, where by imagination you may form a large stupendous castle.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
