JAC Liner started in April 1987 as a sole proprietorship operating two second hand buses along Alabang - Fairview route. The owner's family backyard lot was then became the company's repair shop and head office.

In 1988, JAC Liner acquired eight additional second-hand buses from other bus operators. These were completely rehabilitated and made operational.
