                 STAGECOACH COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF COACH USA

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, JULY 26, 1999 -- Stagecoach Holdings plc announced today in
connection with its acquisition of Coach USA, Inc. (NYSE: CUI) that its
subsidiary SCH Holdings Corp. has completed its cash tender offer for all
outstanding shares of common stock of Coach, at a price of $42.00 per share.

As of the expiration of the tender offer, approximately 25,177,547 shares or
97.0% of Coach's outstanding common stock had been tendered, including
approximately 1,077,920 shares tendered by guaranteed delivery.

The tender offer is being followed by a merger today of SCH Holdings Corp. and
Coach, in which the remaining Coach shares outstanding are being converted into
the right to receive $42.00 in cash per share, without interest thereon, and
Coach is becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Stagecoach. The transaction is
valued at approximately $1.7 billion, including assumption of debt.

Mr. Brian Souter, executive chairman of Stagecoach, welcomed the acceptance of
the tender offer. "We are delighted that our offer has been successful. We are
excited at the opportunities to develop the Coach businesses both through
acquisitions and by organic growth."

The shares of Coach will be placed in voting trusts pending approval of the
transaction by the United States Surface Transportation Board, expected in the
latter half of 1999.
