Etymology and logo
The name of the bus company Genesis is a biblical word meaning "the beginning".
Half of the letter "G" in its logo shows the Philippine map, representing the center of the company's operations.

In 2007, Genesis Transport had a total of 300 buses, servicing routes to key destinations in Central Luzon; including Tarlac, Bataan, Cabanatuan City, Aurora, Baguio.
In 2009, the company was one of the sponsors of the 5th Philippine Bird Festival in Bataan.[2]
