Inocencio Aniceto Transportation, also known as St. Joseph, is a bus transportation company in the Philippines, owned by the Aniceto Family of Vigan City in Ilocos Sur province. It operates 24/7 to transport passengers between Metro Manila and northwest Luzon (the Ilocos corridor).
The company was named after its founder, Inocencio Aniceto, who was a native of Ilocos Sur.
Historyedit
The company was founded by the Aniceto family, who also operate the "Aniceto Mansion Hotel" in Vigan. It has become one of the most popular means of travel to Manila, alongside Philippine Rabbit, the former Times Transit, and the now-defunct Maura Transit. During the '80s, they operated one of the country's most modern fleets and, in 1982, became the first bus company in the country to deploy MAN Royal Commuter Service buses manufactured by Delta Motors Corporation.
During the '90s, financial problems put the company in hard times. The owners had to sell almost all of their buses, including newly acquired Mercedes-Benz units, to Autobus Transport Systems.
The firm did not completely shut down. Even though most of the company's assets were sold to recoup its losses, Dr. Rodolfo Aniceto and his wife managed to restore the company. They acquired a new fleet of surplus buses from Japan, which included Isuzu Super Cruisers, Hino S'elegas, Hino Blue Ribbons, and a Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Queen, and returned to some of its old routes.
In 2010, the Aniceto Bus Line acquired the "Wheels of Fortune Transport" tourist bus company, along with a few of its buses, which later became "Aniceto Travel Services" to cater to the company's ever-growing charter service.
In late October 2011, the company started servicing the Baguio-Vigan route for the first time.
In the early months of 2017, the bus company started deploying its newly acquired King Long buses.
