History

The company was founded in 1961 by Inocencio Aniceto, a native of Ilocos Sur. [2]

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

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.[ citation needed ] 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.[ citation needed ]

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.[ 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.[ citation needed ]
