Bachelor Express

Bachelor Express, Inc. is a Butuan-based intercity operator and one of the flagship brands of the Yanson Group of Bus Companies (YGBC), the country's largest bus group. The Yanson family expanded into Mindanao in the 1980s and acquired the original Cagayan de Oro–based Bachelor Express in 1985, keeping the well-known name as a condition of the sale. Its 2005 buyout of Lilian Express and Mary May Express cemented Bachelor as the dominant operator across the island.

Today Bachelor Express runs air-conditioned and ordinary coaches across the Davao Region and Caraga, anchored on high-frequency corridors like Cagayan de Oro–Butuan and Davao–Butuan–Surigao, plus Davao services to Tagum, Mati, Tandag, Bislig (Mangagoy), Cateel, and Bayugan. It also fields the premium Bachelor Tours brand and inter-island trips reaching the Visayas via RoRo ferries.

On MindaRide it runs both air-conditioned and ordinary coaches, in regular and non-stop classes, from the Davao overland terminal at Ecoland, Butuan's integrated terminal, Agora in Cagayan de Oro, and its own terminals at Mati, Surigao, and Tandag. Its Davao network also covers the Davao de Oro towns strung along the Butuan highway — Panabo, Carmen, Mawab, Nabunturan, Montevista, Monkayo, and Trento — which is why short hops to those towns share the same buses as the long Caraga runs.
