Last week I went to San Francisco and Sacramento for work. Thanks @mobilityforwho.bsky.social for putting together a fun video featuring my very multimodal trip: biking my @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social to the airport and putting it in the overhead bin, using BART @sfbayferry.com and @amtrak.com!

Vallejo. Not only is the 'j' silent but the 'h' is, too!
What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

poignant thoughts from folks standing nearby on the ferry:
"God what a romantic way to travel. Can you imagine? One day you're just coming home from the city at like 6 pm on the ferry and it's like a f***ing movie. And here we are, we're in a f***ing movie."
We are indeed all just living the movie.

Numbers are in: more growth for ferry ridership. Preliminary data shows 17% year over year increase in September.
Total ridership for the last 12 months: 2.9 million pax. Inching ever closer to that 3 million mark.
The Bay Area is choosing safe, clean and reliable transit over freeway gridlock.

Last week our peak morning commute ridership (westbound only, arrive by 9:30 AM) landed at 2,774 per day.
That's our third best week for that figure since 2020. Beaten only by ... the two weeks prior.
Peak morning commute ridership is up 23% year over year. 📈

This is awesome. We also had a nice Tuesday, our best single-day September total (10,987) since 2020.
Imagine if all these people (plus @rideact.bsky.social and other transbay bus riders) had to be on the freeways and bridges instead? Does Google Maps have a darker shade of red available?

We sold out the last half-dozen Valkyries ferries of the season like A MONTH in advance. Demand has been incredible, but we can only land one ferry per game at Pier 48 near Chase Center. We've often been able to increase capacity 1-2 days prior to games as we confirm larger vessels are available.
If the @sfbayferry.com for the @wgoldenstate.bsky.social game is sold out more than a week in advance, then: (1) go Valkyries, and (2) "we're gonna need a bigger boat" (or more boats)!
The tickets are actually sold out. We've been working with the third-party ticketing partner to change the language there to make that clear. We're sorry for the confusion.

BART’s efforts to enhance safety, cleanliness, and the customer experience are paying off as June 2025 saw a 13.4% increase in ridership over a year ago, bolstered by steadily growing weekend ridership.

I’m semi-retired, but still occasionally bike-commute from Berkeley to the Oakland or Hayward Airports with flight gear & a change of clothes. If my schedule permits, I jump on the Oakland-Alameda Water Shuttle for a short ride across the estuary into Alameda. Such a peaceful way to start the day.

We just completed our highest ridership May *of all time*.
That means we exceeded pre-pandemic ridership (101%) for the first time (not the last time). Thanks to everyone who rides and/or supports high-quality regional water transit! sanfranciscobayferry.com/san-francisc...

Just saw a whale tail as it dove into the Bay while riding @sfbayferry.com past Angel Island. A feeling to carry through the rest of the day. All the passengers are smiling and cheering.

Glad @bart.gov is back to normal. Our ridership before 10 AM was up 60% compared to recent Fridays. This could have gotten real hairy if it were any other weekday!
A resilient transportation system with trains, buses AND ferries is essential to keeping the Bay Area moving.

Seeing ++ ridership this AM due to the @bart.gov system shutdown. It's Friday so we still have significant capacity to absorb more pax. Free parking at Oakland (validate on ferry), Alameda Seaplane, Richmond and Harbor Bay. We'll drop you off 2 blocks from Embarcadero Station.
We have swapped our larger ferries into service where possible. Take the ferry from Vallejo, Oakland, Richmond or Alameda or take @rideact.bsky.social transbay buses.
Our schedules are here: sanfranciscobayferry.com/routes-sched.... You can use Clipper, the SF Bay Ferry app or pay on the boat.
