YBLI

Yellow Bus Line Inc. (YBLI)

Yellow Bus Line Incorporated was founded in 1958 by the Yap Family of then Municipality of Koronadal also known as Marbel now called City of Koronadal in South Cotabato. No records whatsoever are found on the internet so I'm mainly inputting from my personal knowledge and knowledge of some of the people I know. Yellow Bus Line is the first bus company in Mindanao and the second largest bus company in Mindanao with 200++ units plying the routes in Sultan Kudarat, South Cotabato, Sarangani Province, and Davao. 

Their base of operations are located at the City of Koronadal, General Santos City and Davao City. Operating for 57 years already, YBLI is the first bus company in the Philippines to implement regular wage for its drivers and conductors. They recently conducted NC III qualification exams for all their drivers and conductors.
