(SPOT.ph) When 1Bataan Integrated Transport started its services in December 2017, the usual four-hour commute by bus via North Luzon Expressway and Pampanga has been turned into a 50-minute ferry ride across Manila Bay. Capinpin Port in Orion became the jump-off point of what the province of Bataan has to offer. But on May 15, 1Bataan Integrated Transport is launching a direct route to Mariveles, which is about an hour away from Orion. It is popular for its white-sand beaches and the rugged coves and cliffs of Five Fingers.
