San Francisco city officials on Tuesday celebrated the launch of new ferry service to Treasure Island.
The new service marks a major milestone in the development of the island, with a new affordable housing project set to bring some new 8,000 homes in the coming years.The new service will shuttle riders on a 48-passenger boat between the new Treasure Island Ferry Terminal and the San Francisco Ferry Building’s Gate B. The ferry will operate 16 hours daily, seven days a week and will be operated by the company Prop SF.
“Today marks a significant step forward in realizing the transportation vision for Treasure Island,” Mayor London Breed said in a statement. “This new ferry service will not only increase transit options for existing residents, but it will allow all San Franciscans and visitors of our city an opportunity to experience the current and future amenities that Treasure Island has to offer.”
“We felt it was critical to jumpstart the ferry service to expand transportation options for new and existing residents, workers, and visitors,” said Chris Meany, co-manager of TCID’s redevelopment effort. “It’s a leap forward in integrating Treasure Island with the rest of San Francisco.”
