Inocencio Aniceto Transportation, also known as St. Joseph Transportation, is a bus company in the Philippines. It operates services between Metro Manila and the Ilocos Region.

History

The company was founded in 1961 by Inocencio Aniceto, a native of Ilocos Sur.[1]

In 1982, it became the first bus company in the Philippines to operate MAN Royal Commuter Service buses, distributed by Delta Motors Corporation.

During the 1990s, the company experienced financial difficulties, leading to the sale of part of its fleet, including newly acquired Mercedes-Benz units and two bus transport systems. To recover, it sold assets and rebuilt operations under the leadership of Dr. Rodolfo Aniceto and his wife. The company acquired surplus buses from Japan, including Isuzu Super Cruisers, Hino S'elega, Hino Blue Ribbons, and a Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Queen, and restored some of its former routes.

In 2010, Aniceto Bus Line acquired Wheels of Fortune Transport, a tourist bus company, and later rebranded as "Aniceto Travel Services" to reflect its focus on charter operations.

In October 2011, the company began operating the Baguio–Vigan route.

In 2017, it introduced new King Long buses to its fleet.
