New Richmond-to-SF ferry schedule starts, no more weekend ferry service for winter

RICHMOND - The weekend ferry service from Richmond to San Francisco that began August 3 ended this past weekend.

The announcement from the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) says that the popular Saturday and Sunday service trial service is over, but makes no mention when - or if - WETA will reinstate the weekend ferries from Richmond Ferry Terminal to the San Francisco Ferry Terminal.
The ferries back and forth to SF during the final weekend were well attended with passengers.
Regular weekday commuter ferry service will continue WETA says.
For updates about changes to the weekday schedule, check out the WETA website here.
To comment on the suspension of the Richmond-to-San Francisco ferry service, WETA can be contacted by phone at 707-643-3779 or toll free at 877-643-3779.
