Photos: Water shuttle between Alameda, Jack London Square makes its first runs
A new, free water shuttle began making runs Wednesday, July 17, between Alameda Landing, on the west end of the island of Alameda at the base of the tubes, and Jack London Square in Oakland.
Each trip takes under 10 minutes. The 45-foot-long, yellow pontoon named Woodstock, in honor of one of the original three Alameda settlements formed in 1853, will have room for roughly 34 people and 14 bicycles. The vessel is wheelchair-accessible.
The San Francisco Bay Ferry will operate Woodstock five days a week, Wednesday through Sunday, from morning until evening. (See the full schedule at www.alamedaca.gov/Departments/Planning-Building-and-Transportation/Transportation/Oakland-Alameda-Water-Shuttle.)
The two-year pilot program is funded with $1 million from the Alameda County Transportation Commission and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and more than $1.7 million from the Alameda Transportation Management Association, West Alameda Transportation Demand Management Association, Port of Oakland, Jack London Improvement District and the city of Alameda.
