Longer Trains, Added Ferry Trips & Free Short Hop Ferry Rides
If you’re headed to San Francsico this weekend, especially if you’ll be checking out Fleet Week festivities, it’s a great time to leave your car behind and take transit. AC Transbay, BART, and the San Francisco Bay Ferry Richmond Line are all great ways to get to San Francsico. Best of all, parking at all East Bay BART stations and the Richmond Ferry terminal is free all weekend long.
BART: To accommodate the added number of people traveling into San Francisco for Fleet Week, BART will be running longer trains on Saturday and Sunday.
San Francisco Bay Ferry: Enhanced weekend schedules will be in effect, with extra trips on Saturday and Sunday system-wide. You can enjoy free trips on their Pier 41 Short Hop service between the SF Ferry Building and Pier 41 in Fisherman’s Wharf – the site of Fleet Week’s Fleet Fest.
A special RICHMOND SCENIC trip will also operate from Richmond to Downtown San Francisco with front seat views of Fleet Weekend and the SF waterfront. The 1-hour trip leaves Richmond for SF at 3pm both Saturday and Sunday. Tickets must be purchased in advance.
