Mindanao Star

Mindanao Star Bus Transport, Inc. is an air-conditioned intercity operator under the Yanson Group of Bus Companies (YGBC), the country's largest bus group. It traces its roots to Weena Express, founded in 1980 by Bernardo "Digoy" Valdevieso, which pioneered the Davao City–Cotabato City route. Bachelor Express acquired the company in early 2015 and rebranded it as Mindanao Star that same year, later running it as an independent Yanson subsidiary.

Its network has since grown across the Davao Region, Soccsksargen, and Cotabato — reaching Digos, Kidapawan, Koronadal (Marbel), General Santos, Cotabato City, and as far as Zamboanga City. Acquisitions of Holiday Bus (2015) and Island City Express (2018) widened its General Santos and Davao–Samal services. The company is based in Bugac, Ma-a, Davao City, with its main hub at the Davao City Overland Transport Terminal (Ecoland) and a second base in Cotabato City.

On MindaRide every Mindanao Star trip is air-conditioned, running in both regular and non-stop classes out of the Ecoland terminal in Davao and its own Cotabato City terminal. The Davao corridors reach Digos, Bansalan, Sulop, Kidapawan, Koronadal (Marbel), and General Santos, while Cotabato–Zamboanga carries the network west into the peninsula. It is also the operator on Cagayan de Oro–Marawi, which leaves from Bulua rather than Agora because it heads west out of the city.
