# BGC Bus

The Bonifacio Transport Corporation, or more commonly known as BGC Bus or formerly The Fort Bus, is an intercity bus company in Metro Manila, the Philippines, serving routes plying the Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig, with routes connecting BGC to Makati and to Arca South, also in Taguig, as well as a route connecting Makati and Gil Puyat LRT station, Pasay.
The company is a subsidiary of the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC), an affiliate company under the Ayala Corporation. The bus system uses the Beep contactless smart card and GCash e-wallet as modes of electronic payment.
Its bus depot is situated in the western part of Bonifacio Global City, near the Kalayaan Flyover.

## History

Founded in 1998, the Bonifacio Transport Corporation was established under the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC). It was formed through an initial fleet of 24 buses — 10 of which are Mercedes-Benz buses and the rest are a mix of Daewoo, and Nissan Diesel units — as an intercity transport system to and from the adjacent business districts of Bonifacio Global City and Ayala Center.
In 2008, six Mercedes-Benz O500M 1725 buses were deployed by FBDC, followed by an additional 14 buses to keep up with passenger demand. In the same year, HM Transport Inc. and the Bonifacio Transport Corporation signed an agreement, allowing the use of HM Transport buses to serve routes to and from Bonifacio Global City. As a result, a weekday bus route between the Market! Market! shopping mall in Taguig, EDSA, and Kalayaan Avenue was established.
In 2016, the BGC Bus replaced its TapBGC contactless smart card with AF Payments Inc.'s Beep card. A limited public trial was conducted from June 11 to 26, and was fully rolled out on June 27, 2016.
In 2024, BGC Bus route was extended to Gil Puyat station in Pasay which began on May 20, initially operating only on weekday mornings.
