JAC Liner Binan

Short Background:

JAC Liner Inc. is one of the largest bus companies in the Philippines serving the riding
public, route to Southern Luzon provinces which includes key destinations in the
provinces of Laguna, Batangas, Quezon and Marinduque.
JAC (Jaime A Chua) Liner, owned by Chua Family, started in April 1987 as a sole
proprietorship operating two secondhand buses along Alabang - Fairview route. The
owner's family backyard lot was then becoming the company's repair shop and head
office.
JLI’s beginnings started in April 1987 as a sole proprietorship operating a couple of old
secondhand buses along Alabang-Fairview route. A family-owned backyard lot was the
repair shop and offices.
In 1988, JLI acquired 2nd hand buses from other bus operators. These were completely
rehabilitated and made operational.

May 1989, through the Bus Instalment Purchase Program (BIPP) and later the BOI-IPP,
JLI purchased brand new buses. In the same year, JLI was also granted additional
franchises along EDSA.

March 1992 was a milestone in the company’s history when it was formally incorporated
with the corporate name of JAC LINER, INC.

In January 1994, JLI completely moved its operations to the Southern Tagalog regions,
where, through its inherently superior services, it immediately established itself as one
of the dominant and most trusted bus companies up to this day.

Reports:

The Land Transportation and Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) on

Wednesday conducted inspections of various bus terminals in Metro Manila as the
country grapples with the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
LTFRB central office enforcers went to 12 bus terminals in Quezon City to check their
compliance to Memorandum Circular No. 2020-005, which mandates them to ensure
the cleanliness of facilities and availability of disinfectants and sanitizers that
passengers could use for free.
LTFRB found that Dominion Bus Lines was the only terminal in full compliance with the
memorandum, even providing vitamins, alcohol, tissue for their drivers and conductors.
Meanwhile, only Jac Liner Inc. was equipped with a thermometer gun to check the body
temperature of passengers alighting their Public Utility Buses (PUB).
Other terminals have alcohol and sanitizers available but were an inadequate measure
to ensure that all passengers, drivers, and conductors are protected, the regulator
noted.
