Maybe not what you meant, but a lot of train stations are also bus stations.
For example, you can go from Boston to Worcester via Commuter Rail (amtrak also stops there but for a different route) or via Bus. Bus is usually faster but they're always late, so I used to take the commuter rail.
Boston's South Station, which is linked to New York City via Amtrak (slow train and Acela) also has a bus terminal next to it which goes to many more destinations.
You can also take the Amtrak from Boston North Station up through Portland, ME to Brunswick. The station in Portland also is home to a bus company (not Greyhound), which also goes to Boston & other places.
Anyways, in short most cities connected by amtrak are also already connected by bus, so a greyhound acquisition isn't necessary (and some locations aren't desirable, the Portland one is in a terrible spot)
