NEW TRANSPORTATION SERVICE TO COVER BAY SECTION OF CITY A new chapter in the history of transportation in the Philippines will be written tomorrow when the Manila Motor Coach, Inc., inaugurates its double-deck bus service on Dewey Boulevard and neighboring streets. While the bus is designed primarily for sight-seeing purposes, it will engage in general passenger service. A number of city and public service commission officials have been invited to attend the inauguration tomorrow, Sunday, Sept. 1, at 11 o'clock in the morning. The idea of providing Manila residents with a modern and up-to-date two-deck bus was the result of a study made by Sebastian Palanca, local businessman and sportsman, who is the head of the company, of the transportation problem in Manila as compared with the facilities found in modern cities in the different parts of the world. It is hoped to augment the service with another bus within 45 days. The Matorco double deck coach is an all-steel vehicle, designed

  Juaymah Maureen Transport was a bus company founded in the early to mid 90's in Las Piñas City by Elenita C. Mababangloob, the sole proprietor. The business name, as was common that time, was a composite of her two daughters' names. The company's main route was the Alabang-Lawton route, an important line that connects the capital to the southern business district and transport hub. Later on, Juaymah Maureen acquired a terminal in General Mariano Alvarez (GMA), a resettlement town in eastern Cavite. No records were available yet to show when exactly JMT started operations in GMA, but by 2003 it held the legal privilege to the route with two franchises in the GMA-Lawton via Carmona line, totaling 15 units. Complementing those lines were two franchises for the Alabang-Lawton route, with 14 units. These franchises were operated using Hino RF and RK3H air-conditioned buses. As no other company lasted in the GMA route at the turn of the century, JMT enjoyed success at the line,
