History
Erjohn & Almark Transit Corp. is part of the Tas Group of Companies. Within this corporate structure, it operates as a sister company to TAS Trans Corp., a bus company which mainly plies from Alabang in Muntinlupa City to Lawton in Manila City.[2] Like its sister company, it started operation in Las Piñas City before having Cavite routes.
In September 2013, Erjohn & Almark, alongside TAS Transport and several other operators, filed a civil lawsuit against the City of Manila and its top officials, including then-Mayor Joseph Estrada. The petition sought to block a city-wide bus ban (Resolution No. 48) that prevented provincial buses without terminals in Manila from entering the city, with the operators arguing that the ban violated national laws and lacked due process.[3]
In 2019, Erjohn & Almark acquired Zhongtong LCK6125G Fashion low-entry bus as compliance to stricter government regulations.[4]
In August 2022, Erjohn & Almark joined the EDSA Carousel operations, deploying five bus units that were previously assigned to the Dasmariñas–Ayala, Makati route via Coastal Road. The company also began operating Route 32 (General Mariano Alvarez–PITX) with 20 bus units.[5]
In May 2025, Erjohn & Almark, along with Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX, One Ayala Terminal and other major transport operators, including Jasper Jean Services, and Saulog Transit joined the "Drayberks: Ready 4 Safety" campaign, an initiative aimed at promoting road safety awareness among commercial drivers traveling along the CALAX and CAVITEX networks.[6]
On August 20, 2025, an Erjohn & Almark bus was involved in a collision along Aguinaldo Highway in Barangay Anabu 1-D, Imus City. According to police reports, the bus was struck from behind by a Don Aldrin bus, resulting in injuries to seven individuals, including the driver of the other vehicle.[7]
Issues and criticisms
In April 2014, the MTRCB summoned Erjohn & Almark along with Baes Express and Alfonso Liner after an inspection at the Southwest Integrated Provincial Transport terminal in Coastal Mall, Parañaque City found a bus unit exhibiting unrated videos. The agency confiscated the items and reminded the company that PUVs are restricted to showing only "G" or "PG" rated content, with violators facing fines of up to ₱5,000 or franchise cancellation.[8]
The company has been involved in labor-related litigations concerning employee compensation and dismissal. In February 2021, the Supreme Court issued a final decision in Concordo v. Erjohn & Almark Transit Corp. (G.R. No. 250147), concluding a nearly two-decade labor dispute. The Court reversed a previous Court of Appeals ruling and ordered the company to immediately reinstate several drivers and conductors to their former positions. Additionally, the company was ordered to pay full backwages reckoned from December 24, 2010, plus legal interest, due to the company's failure to comply with earlier reinstatement orders. The total monetary award for the affected employees was estimated at over ₱2.4 million.[9]
