Mindanao Star Bus Transport Inc. Launches Their Davao - Marawi Route on February 23, 2022 and February 24, 2022 as their Maiden Trip. 

Last November 2021, LTFRB Region XI opened a franchise application under the Memorandum Circular No. 2021-072 with a route of Davao City - Marawi City

This 431-kilometer route will connect Davao City to the Islamic City of Marawi, this route will be beneficial to both cities as the latter is still recovering from the ashes from the war that ravaged the city 5 years ago.

It will also boost the inter-regional connections and progress as this route will traverse 3 regions of Mindanao, namely the Davao Region, Northern Mindanao, and BARMM. It will also help the people of BARMM especially the people of Marawi City to different aspects of life and opportunities in neighboring cities and help them to recover from the damages of war that flattened the city in 2017.

On December 1 of the same year, LTFRB Region 11 declared the Mindanao Star Bus Transport Inc. as the winner and pioneer company that will serve this newly-opened Friendship Route, utilizing fifteen (15) units of Viking Series 11th Generation Airconditioned Bus units and Kinglong XMQ6107AYW Non-Airconditioned Bus Units.

Bataan Transit's new Higer LE, and the mystery of its route

Bataan Transit's inclusion in the EDSA Carousel route is a surprise to many, but there is a special reason behind it. Photo: Khemachat Dhamrong-rattanaroj 2020      Late last week, Bataan Transit  made a stir in the bus enthusiast community as their brand-new Higer KLQ6129G low-entry city buses hit the streets of Metro Manila. Quite apart from being a fresh face at the EDSA Carousel busway , it was quite a surprise to see a company known for provincial  operations, especially since most provincial buses are still kept in storage, not allowed to traverse their usual routes without LTFRB's approval .     Most provincial bus companies today were either sitting idle in their home bases, being used as company shuttles, or already approved to resume limited operations by the LTFRB. Aside from a handful of provincial operators with obvious city routes (HM Transport and Santrans, for example), most provincial buses are not allowed to operate inside Metro Manila. So what is Bataan Trans

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
