Inocencio Aniceto Transportation, also known as St. Joseph Transportation, is a family-owned provincial bus company based in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. Established in 1961 by Inocencio Aniceto,[1] the company operates routes between Metro Manila and the Ilocos Region. Its fleet has included bus models from manufacturers such as Hino, Isuzu, Mitsubishi Fuso, Hyundai, and King Long.[2]
During the 1990s, the company encountered financial difficulties and sold part of its fleet, including newly acquired Mercedes-Benz units, to Auto Bus Transportation. To continue operations, additional were sold, and management changes were implemented under the leadership of Dr. Rodolfo Aniceto and his wife.[citation needed] The company later acquired surplus buses from Japan, including units such as Isuzu Super Cruisers, Hino S'elega, Hino Blue Ribbons, and a Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Queen, and resumed several of its former routes.[4]
In 2010, the company acquired Wheels of Fortune Transport, a tourist bus operator, and subsequently rebranded its charter division as "Aniceto Travel Services".[citation needed]
In October 2011, the company began operating the Baguio–Vigan route.[citation needed]
In 2017, it introduced new King Long buses to its fleet.[5] However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted these efforts and since then, their business activities have been mostly inactive.
