Etymology and logo
[edit]The name of the bus company Genesis is a biblical word meaning "the beginning". Half of the letter "G" in its logo shows the Philippine map, representing the center of the company's operations.
History
[edit]Genesis started its operations in 1991, with a shuttle bus between Paskuhan village and the malls in Metro Manila.[2] From there, it grew to owning three buses, which it operated with a crew of six people, and two partners. In 2007, Genesis Transport had a total of 300 buses, servicing routes to key destinations in Central Luzon; including Tarlac, Bataan, Cabanatuan, Aurora, and Baguio.
In 2009, the company was one of the sponsors of the 5th Philippine Bird Festival in Bataan.[3]
