Super Five Land Transport and Services Inc. formerly known as Super Five Transport, is a bus company based in Iligan City, Philippines. It operates bus transport services in northern Mindanao and Zamboanga Peninsula with its main hubs in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan.
History
[edit]Super 5 Land Transport and Services was established on May 5, 1987, by Paul Padayhag of Iligan City. It first served the Cagayan–Iligan–Pagadian route using Philippines-made Mercedes-Benz buses. Years later, they added Cagayan–Iligan–Ozamiz–Dipolog and Cagayan–Valencia–Wao routes.[1]
Despite a history of financial setbacks and temporary unit confiscations by the authorities due to violations, the company managed to compete with its rival in the region, Rural Transit.
Fleet
[edit]
The first bus units of Super 5 came from Nissan Diesel and Mercedes-Benz.
