Transport Engineering and Bus Body Assembly Plant (TEBBAP)
The Yanson Group of Bus Companies is a family-owned and managed business that has grown from a lone 14-seater jeepney plying a single route called Ceres Liner, to a conglomerate of transportation companies with a combined number of operating units of 838 transport vehicles as of January 2010, operating in Visayas, and also serves Mindanao. The company pioneered inter-modal services between Negros and Cebu.
The company was founded in 1968 by Ricardo B. Yanson (passed away on Sunday, October 25, 2015) and his wife, Olivia Villaflores Yanson, beginning with the purchase of one jeepney unit. This effort ultimately became a jeepney-assembly business. In the early 1970s, the market was flooded with Ford Fieras; the couple decided to diversify into a small bus line which plied the Bacolod City-Valladolid-La Carlota route (hence, ValLaCar) and christened it as Ceres Liner, named after Ricardo's youngest sister.
Below are the following milestones of Yanson Group of bus Companies:
Having a lot of bus units, the company decided to operate a fiberglass, recapping, brake lining, and battery plant. Thus the born of VTI-Transport Engineering and Bus Body Assembly Plant (VTI-TEBBAP).
Today, the corporation presides over a transportation business with around 1,000 buses serving the islands of Negros, Panay, Cebu, Bohol, Samar-Leyte, Mindanao, and Batangas City.
These are the subsidiary companies under the Yanson Group of Bus Companies as of 2016:
Started in 1968, Vallacar Transit Incorporated is the first subsidiary of the Yanson Group of Bus Companies. It started with Ceres Liner which is named after the founder's younger sister. By 1980, Ceres Liner was covering the whole province of Negros.
In 2007, Ceres Liner's Iloilo base pioneered travel between Iloilo City and Metro Manila through the Western Nautical Highway. Proving to be profitable, Yanson Group expanded its Metro Manila operations and later established Ceres Transport in 2009.
