## History

First North Luzon Transit was founded in 2007 with a fleet of 100 buses.
Aside from being a public transport company, FNLT also offers shuttle services to individuals, corporations, and even to sponsor for major events. One example they did is when they sponsored free shuttle services from Metro Manila to the Philippine Arena during the #SaTamangPanahon concert of Eat Bulaga! last October 2015.
Their operations have since expanded to the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, La Union.
Royal Eagle, the former name of this bus company, was adopted when the Five Star Bus Company took over its management. The company initially began operations to Hagonoy, Bulacan and later expanded to San Isidro, Nueva Ecija, as well as several locations in Bulacan, Pampanga, Dagupan, San Carlos, Pangasinan, Bataan (including Mariveles and Balanga) and San Fernando, La Union. The company also has buses in Five Star and Bataan Transit hybrid livery.
