History edit
Baliwag Transit, Inc. was established by the late Maria Victoria Santiago Vda. de Tengco (popularly known in Baliwag as "Viuda" or "Nanay Turing"), a native of Baliwag and Hagonoy, Bulacan. Prior to the establishment of the bus company in the 1960s, she had a hat business in Baliwag, this becoming the source of the logo of the bus company. The company grew as years went by and became a member of the Baliwag Group of Companies. The children and grandchildren of Doña Victoria continue to manage the company and is currently presided by her eldest son, Joselito S. Tengco.[citation needed]

Like other bus companies in the Philippines with exclusive terminals, Baliwag Transit, Inc. has its own stations like in the city of San Jose and Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, also in Baliwag, Malolos and Hagonoy, Bulacan and in Metro Manila like Cubao, Quezon City and Grace Park, Caloocan. These are located in vital points along the bus routes, where potential passengers can easily converge for boarding.[3]
In 2009, Baliwag Transit opened a subsidiary company, Golden Bee Transport and Logistics Corp., which services the routes Pasay-Cubao to Baliwag, Cabanatuan, and San Jose, Nueva Ecija, and vice versa.[4]
They opened their Pasay Terminal in Zone 16, Don Carlos St., Brgy. 164, Pasay on December 14, 2014, owned by the Baliwag Transit and their sister company, Golden Bee Transport and Logistics Corporation.[5]
