JAC Liner is one of the largest bus companies in the Philippines serving the riding public en route to Southern Luzon provinces which includes key destinations in the provinces of Laguna, Batangas, Quezon and Marinduque.[2]
History
JAC (Jaime A. Chua) Liner, owned by the Chua Family, began operating in April 1987 as a sole proprietorship operating second hand buses. The owner's family backyard lot functioned as the company's repair garage and head office.[3]
In 1988, JAC Liner acquired eight additional second-hand buses from other bus operators. These were rehabilitated and made operational. A year after, they were assisted by the Bus Installment Purchase Program (BIPP), a program that would allow them to purchase buses on installment basis which allowed them to purchase 26 new buses and was granted to have additional franchises along EDSA.
In March 1992, they were formally incorporated as JAC Liner. Two years later, they moved their operations to the Southern Tagalog region, where it established itself as one of the largest bus companies in the country.
In 2004, the founders decided to go on semi-retirement and passed on the day-to-day management of the company to their children while retaining long-term policy-making functions of the corporation.
