It offers both provincial and city operations, servicing routes from [Metro Manila](/source/Metro_Manila) to [Laguna](/source/Laguna_(province)) province and vice versa. Its city operation subsidiary, '''Worthy Transport Inc.''' services routes from Airport Loop, [Pasay](/source/Pasay), Plaza Lawton, [Manila](/source/Manila) Lagusnilad Underpass via [Taft Avenue](/source/Taft_Avenue), C5 Road, [Pasig](/source/Pasig), Baclaran, [Parañaque](/source/Para%C3%B1aque), Western Bicutan, [Taguig](/source/Taguig), [Ayala Avenue](/source/Ayala_Avenue), [Makati](/source/Makati), Pacita Complex and [Carmona, Cavite](/source/Carmona%2C_Cavite). ==Etymology== The bus company was derived from the initials of its founder, '''Homer Mercado''', a bus operator, who was believed to be a grand nephew of [Filipino](/source/Filipino_people) national hero, [Jose Rizal](/source/Jose_Rizal). He is the president of the Southern Luzon Bus Operators Association (SOLUBOA) and has been a party-list representative of United Transport Coalition (commonly known as 1-UTAK partylist) (now 1-JAM G Partylist). ==History== Before HM Transport was formed, a bus company named Laguna Transport Company Inc. or LTCI, a sister company of [JAM](/source/JAM_Liner) was established in the early 1980s. It services routes from [Santa Cruz, Laguna](/source/Santa_Cruz%2C_Laguna), to Lawton, [Manila](/source/Manila) via Taft Avenue, and Cubao, [Quezon City](/source/Quezon_City), along with other competitors, Kapalaran Bus Lines, also a provincial bus company that is established in the same decade; however, it was phased out in the mid-1990s due to labor disputes, and Batangas Laguna Tayabas Bus Company Inc. (now Del Monte Land Transport Bus Company or [DLTBCo](/source/DLTBCo)).[http://www.backpackingphilippines.com/2009/04/bus-laguna-calamba-los-banos-pagsanjan.html Budget Travel Philippines | Living Asia Backpacking Guide | Tours Tourism Reviews 2011: HM Transport and Green Star: Bus to Laguna Calamba, Los Banos, Sta. Cruz, Pagsanjan] In 2001, a major split out occurred. This resulted to forming of HM Transport Inc. that serves routes from [Santa Cruz, Laguna](/source/Santa_Cruz%2C_Laguna), to Cubao, [Quezon City](/source/Quezon_City), and Alabang, [Muntinlupa](/source/Muntinlupa). Another one is [Green Star Express](/source/Green_Star_Express), a provincial bus company servicing routes, this time, from the same place to Lawton, [Manila](/source/Manila). Thus, the brand name Laguna Transport Company Inc. was then changed into its new name Laguna Express Inc. or LEI, but it was rebranded into Calamba Megatrans Inc. in 2007. This bus company services [Calamba](/source/Calamba%2C_Laguna)-Plaza Lawton, [Manila](/source/Manila) route, the Santa Cruz - Cubao route, and for a time, the Alabang - Santa Cruz route. Both HM Transport and [Green Star Express](/source/Green_Star_Express) dominate other provincial buses in [Laguna](/source/Laguna_(province)). With its terminal at Barangay Pagsawitan, [Pagsanjan](/source/Pagsanjan), [Laguna](/source/Laguna_(province)) after passing through [Santa Cruz, Laguna](/source/Santa_Cruz%2C_Laguna), these bus companies share each other at the old garage of defunct Kapalaran Bus Lines. After the [JAC Liner Inc.](/source/JAC_Liner_Inc.) buy out of Green Star Express Inc and Laguna Express Inc., the terminal was moved to the former HM Liner terminal. ==Fleet== thumb|A Worthy Transport Inc.
