History

The company was founded by Inocencio Aniceto, a native of Ilocos Sur. The Aniceto family also owns and operates the Aniceto Mansion Hotel in Vigan.

The company has grown into one of the most popular transit services in Manila, in addition to the Philippine Rabbit, and the now-defunct Maura Transit. During the 1980s, it operated one of the country's most modern fleets. In 1982, it became the first bus company in the country to deploy MAN Royal Commuter Service buses manufactured by Delta Motors Corporation.

During the 1990s, the company faced financial difficulties. The owners sold off most of their buses, including newly acquired Mercedes-Benz units, to Autobus Transport Systems. Most of the company's assets were sold to recoup its losses. Dr. Rodolfo Aniceto and his wife succeeded in restoring 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. The company then returned to some of its old transit routes.

In 2010, the Aniceto Bus Line acquired the "Wheels of Fortune Transport" tourist bus company. This became the "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 2017 the bus company started deploying newly acquired King Long buses.
