Citylink Coach Services

History

Citylink Coach Services Inc. was established through its investment of P100 million by the First Oceanic Property Management, Inc., an affiliate company of Megaworld Corporation. The route Eastwood City-Newport City via C-5 Road was approved by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (Philippines), a government agency under Department of Transportation and Communications last March 6, 2008 and the company operates using five buses—1 Hino, 1 Higer, and 3 King Long units. Later, the buses were increased to 15 and were used as shuttle service when Citylink has been invested by First Oceanic to boost the need for the employees working in the companies under Megaworld Corporation, its subsidiaries, and many multinational companies occupying at the business districts like Eastwood City, Newport City, Bonifacio Global City, McKinley Hill, and Ayala Center.

Fleet

Citylink utilizes Hino, King Long, Higer, and Daewoo units, preferably air-conditioned, totalling about 20 buses. Five of those first units were used for city operation, while the rest are used as shuttle services going to Ayala Center in Makati, McKinley Hill and Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, and Eastwood City in Libis, Quezon City.
