Travelling across the Philippines just got a whole lot easier. 2GO Travel, one of the country’s leading sea transport providers, has teamed up with Ceres Liner (Vallacar Transit, Inc.) to bridge the gap between ports and cities—giving passengers a smoother, more connected journey.
From Ship to Shuttle
No more scrambling for rides after disembarking! With this partnership, dedicated Ceres shuttle buses are now ready to pick up 2GO passengers straight from the port. The first rollout happened at Nasipit Port, linking travellers directly to Butuan City. Next stops? Cebu and Cagayan de Oro, making inter-island travel more convenient than ever.
Hassle-Free Reservations
Passengers can even reserve their shuttle seats onboard before docking. That means less waiting, better coordination, and a stress-free transfer from pier to terminal. It’s a simple but powerful move toward truly integrated travel.
Voices Behind the Partnership
Atty. Collin Derk Isidto, VP for Legal at Vallacar Transit, explains:
“This partnership strengthens access for passengers traveling to and from nearby provinces, making it easier for more Filipinos to connect to key ports and continue their journeys across islands.”
Meanwhile, Francis O. Chua, business unit head of 2GO Travel, highlights the bigger picture:
“We hope that through this collaboration, we enable not only regular travelers and groups, but also entrepreneurs and communities to access more destinations across the Philippines.”
Why It Matters
This isn’t just about convenience — it’s about connecting communities, boosting local economies, and opening doors for exploration. By syncing sea and land transport, 2GO and Ceres are building a travel ecosystem that’s reliable, efficient, and future-ready.
What’s Next?
The two companies are already eyeing more ports and terminals nationwide, so expect expanded routes soon. For now, travellers bound for Butuan can drop by the front office on board for shuttle arrangements.
