Inocencio Aniceto Transportation, also known as St. Joseph Transportation, is a bus transportation company in the Philippines. It operates between Metro Manila and the Ilocos Region.
History
The company was founded by Inocencio Aniceto, a native of Ilocos Sur.
In 1982, it became the first bus company in the Philippines to deploy MAN Royal Commuter Service buses, which were distributed by Delta Motors Corporation.
During the 1990s, the company faced financial difficulties, leading to the divestiture of a significant portion of its bus fleet, including newly acquired Mercedes-Benz units and two bus Transport Systems. To recover from its losses, it was forced to liquidate many of its assets. Dr. Rodolfo Aniceto and his wife played a pivotal role in restoring the company. They were instrumental in rebuilding the fleet and re-establishing the company's services. They also acquired a new fleet of surplus buses from Japan, which included Isuzu Super Cruisers, Hino S'elega, Hino Blue Ribbons, and a Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Queen. The company then restored some of its old transit routes.
In 2010, Aniceto Bus Line acquired the "Wheels of Fortune Transport", a tourist bus company. The company's increasing shift toward charter service encouraged it to rename itself "Aniceto Travel Services".
In late October 2011, the company started servicing the Baguio-Vigan route for the first time.
In 2017, the company introduced a fleet of newly acquired King Long buses.
