It seems like it should be tough to maintain the quarterly EPS from Q4 to Q1 because of the earn outs, but with the price increases coming in Q1 along with the extra 2690 i/c buses and 151 airport buses added between Dec 1 and Jan 1, it's going to end up looking easy, IMO.

They've added 10%+ to their inter-city network between Dec 1 and Jan 1 (2690 new/26400 prior); they'll get the benefit of 10-15% in price increases (this alone should nearly cover the extra 17.4% earn-out share dilution), and they've added ~30% (151 new/500 prior to these) to the airport bus network..

Start up costs on SWITOW is the only X-factor that could hinder stellar growth in Q1..
