ABOUT PANTRANCO AND OTHER BUS COMPANIES PLYING NORTH,CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN LUZON:
THE PANTRANCO
Economic and social progress, to a large extent, depend on the efficiency of a system of transportation that serves a community. The extensive road network of Pangasinan, and the birth of the Pangasinan Transportation company (PANTRANCO) were two factors responsible for the rapid growth of Dagupan into a city.
Credit for the extensive road network of Pangasinan goes largely to the late Governor Daniel Maramba. As governor, he built the roads that connected western Pangasinan to Dagupan; he also improved the road in the eastern towns that made travel to Dagupan very much easier.
Pantranco was organized in 1917. It started its operations with only six buses. Its main terminal and the Victory hotel was in Dagupan. Two Americans: A. L. Ammend and Max Blouse, founded the company. When Frank Klar, also an American, retired as provincial treasurer of Pangasinan in 1918, he bought the company.
It was Frank Klar, and his son-in-law, the late Don Rafael Gonzales, who first expanded the company's operations to cover the whole of Central and Northern Luzon. Sometime in 1970, ownership of the company passed into new hands this time the Manila Trading Company. Today, Pantranco buses are operating as far as Southern Tagalog and the Bicol region.
