About Us

In the year 2010, Philippine Bus Photographers Association (PBPA) was started with the goal of being an Internet hangout for people who share a passion in bus enthusiasm and photography. The group was no more than a few people swapping bus-related stories and sharing precious bus photos.

Now, in 10 years of existing, PBPA has grown beyond what it originally was. Our numbers grew, and so did our purpose. While bus photography has always been the staple of our group, we have expanded into new horizons over the years. We have established rapport among some of the industry's small players and big names alike; reached out to the wider commuting community through our updates; shared our knowledge through various means, including the short-lived Know Your Bus; and supported the industry's programs as much as we can.

For today and beyond, you can expect us to do our best and bring something new for you. We have plans to improve your experience with us, and reach out to more and more people so that we can show the beauty of buses and the bus enthusiasm hobby.

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
