Partas - Fleet

Fleet

As of today, Partas is fielding more or less 300 buses. The expansion of its fleet will be highly anticipated because 100 buses will be added. The reason behind this is that they will be expanding their proximal destination to General Santos City. These buses are an assortment -- from locally made ones to imports. The locals are built by Almazora Motors, Pilipinas Hino, and Del Monte Motorworks, while the imported ones are Golden Dragon and Yutong buses from China, and Universal Space Luxury buses from the Korean manufacturer Hyundai. The management ordered 20 of these and 2 of them are presently on service These buses are equipped with engines built by MAN SE, Hino Motors, Cummins, Nissan Diesel, Mitsubishi Fuso, and Mercedes-Benz. Just recently, they started to field Yutong buses with a new livery.

Their new buses sport either white livery with red, dark blue and sky blue stripes (Golden Dragon Buses), an image of a running Roadrunner character displayed throughout the length of the bus (some Golden Dragon buses), white with blue lettering and the Roadrunner character (Hyundai buses), or red, blue and white-colored buses (Mercedes-Benz). There is one Golden Dragon bus, with body number 81538, sporting a silver livery with red, dark blue and sky blue stripes. It is considered to be the first Golden Dragon bus in the fleet and the first Chinese-branded bus in the Philippines when it was introduced back in 2004. The Roadrunner character is displayed in almost all of their buses.

On July 2010, a new livery has been unveiled. The first four buses with this new design are bus numbers 81048, 81068, 81378 and 81388 providing more interest to target customers for their new interior which were once a bit old among the fleet.
