In 2001, a major split out occurred. This resulted to forming of HM Transport Inc. that serves routes from [[Santa Cruz, Laguna]], to Cubao, [[Quezon City]], and Alabang, [[Muntinlupa]]. Another one is [[Green Star Express]], a provincial bus company servicing routes, this time, from the same place to Lawton, [[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, Laguna|Calamba]]-Plaza Lawton, [[Manila]] route, the Santa Cruz - Cubao route, and for a time, the Alabang - Santa Cruz route.

Both HM Transport and [[Green Star Express]] dominate other provincial buses in [[Laguna (province)|Laguna]]. With its terminal at Barangay Pagsawitan, [[Pagsanjan]], [[Laguna (province)|Laguna]] after passing through [[Santa Cruz, Laguna]], these bus companies share each other at the old garage of defunct Kapalaran Bus Lines. After the [[JAC Liner Inc.]] buy out of Green Star Express Inc and Laguna Express Inc., the terminal was moved to the former HM Liner terminal.

HM Transport was the first provincial bus company to adopt a new alternative for energy, using compressed natural gas (CNG) as a substitute for diesel. In 2004, some liquified petroleum gas tanks (LPG) placed the former diesel compartments of some units. Now, other bus companies followed HM Transport's example, such as her sister companies [[Green Star Express]] and Batangas Star Express Corp./KL CNG Bus Transport Corp., RRCG Transport, and Biñan Bus Line Transport System Inc. (BBL Trans) until the program was quietly discontinued around 2014-2015.
