History

At that time, Philippine Rabbit and rival Farias Transit controlled the Ilocos routes, millionaire Santiago Rondaris’ Times Transit had been permanently shut down due to labor disputes and had since changed its name to Dominion Bus Lines, and St. Joseph had been forced to take a back seat due to financial difficulties. Luis Chavit Singson and Rolito Go incorporated Partas Bus Lines as a business at Laoag. (Ilocos Norte).
Partas, a new player in the industry, attracted riders with its modern buses powered by Nissan Diesel and MAN engines.
