The company comprises of Vallacar Transit Corporation (operator of Ceres Liner, est. 1968), Rural Transit Mindanao Incorporated (RTMI; operator of Rural Transit/Rural Tours, est. 1985) and Bachelor Express Incorporated (BEI; operator of Bachelor Express/Bachelor Tours, est. 1985). Starting its roots in 1968 as the family business of Mr Ricardo Yanson and his wife Olivia Villaflores Yanson. They started with one jeepney unit and evolving to a jeepney assembly business. In the 1970's, there was a large influx of Ford Fiera's in the market. The jeepney assembly became a small bus line plying the Bacolod City - Valladolid - La Carlota (VALLACAR) route named the CERES LINER. In 1981 they ventured into Mindanao, buying out Cagayan de Oro based bus companies Fortune Express and Bachelor Express in 1985. Fortune Express changed its name to Rural Transit Mindanao Incorporated while Bachelor Express retained its name as part of the contract conditions. In 2005 they bought out Lilian Express Incorporated and Mary May Express. They also bought out Weena Express, the Cotabato based company in 2015. They pioneered travel through the Western Nautical Highway in 2007.
