Saulog Transit Inc. is a bus transportation company in the Philippines servicing routes between Metro Manila, Cavite and Central Luzon or Baguio Its sister company, Dagupan Bus Co., Inc. is its arm covering major routes in Pangasinan
The company offers air conditioned buses to the riding public.
Saulog Transit Inc. was named after its founder, the late Eliseo Basa Saulog (+). Eliseo was fondly called Sayong by those close to him and Don Eliseo to every one else. His wife was the pride of Malagasang 1st, Imus, Cavite, Philippines no other than Nieves Arguelles (+). They were blessed with nine children as follows: Ignacio (+), Luciano (+), Teodoro (+), Virginia (+), Dr. Melquiades (+), Ruben (+), Maura Saulog-Aguinaldo, Lilia Saulog-Venturina and Dr. Marietta Saulog-Vergara.
The company started operation in 1946 with orangy yellow, silver and dark green bus paint design. In 1974, Saulog Transit Inc. acquired the franchise of Villarey Transit, which it used to operate its sister company, Dagupan Bus Co., Inc. initially with only six Mitsubishi Fuso buses as part of its expansion in Northern Luzon.
It was in 2010 when Saulog Transit and Genesis Transport Service Inc. signed a memorandum of agreement for the long time cooperation and allocation of the franchise of the former. Genesis Transport answered all of its assets of Saulog Transit when it was found out that the Saulog clan was unable to shoulder all of the annual contributions to SSS, Pag-ibig and PhilHealth. Hence, Saulog Transit and Dagupan Bus Co., Inc. acquired new bus units.
Due to some complaints made by some Manilan commuters regarding the entering of provincial buses from Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and Quezon provinces, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim issued a memorandum known as Executive Order 13, prohibiting all provincial buses from Southern Tagalog region to enter Manila except for some cases like those coming from Northern Luzon, Bicol Region or Visayas. Another scenario also happened for the second time during Lim's second term as mayor, just to decongest traffic along Taft Avenue. The company also has been accused of breaking municipal rules by picking up passengers at stops other that its designated terminals.
