The City of Vallejo announced the launch of special direct ferry service to all weekend and holiday San Francisco Giants games played at AT&T Park this season.
Published: May, 2008
This new service will hopefully add a vital revenue stream supporting the City’s Transportation Division budget, while providing a great service to Solano County and North Bay region baseball fans. The popular direct return service will continue to be offered from McCovey Cove after all weekday night games.
Fans headed to the weekend and holiday games will board a dedicated ferry in Vallejo and arrive at the ballpark in McCovey Cove about 45 minutes before the first pitch. About 25 minutes after the last out, the same ferry will pick up the Vallejo-bound passengers for the return trip to Vallejo. Passengers will be able to avoid traffic snarls on Interstate 80 and San Francisco’s city streets, bypass the toll bridges, and parking at the Vallejo Ferry Terminal is free.
The dedicated ferry to the baseball games will also help ease the historical over-crowding on the very popular summer weekend ferry trips to the San Francisco Ferry Building and Fisherman’s Wharf at Pier 41. It’s a win-win for everyone, direct service for the ball games, and more seats for passengers heading to San Francisco for other events or family outings, said Crystal Odum Ford, the City’s Transportation Superintendent.
Special tickets are required for service to all 28 weekend and holiday baseball games this season. These tickets are available only at the Vallejo Ferry Terminal Ticket Office, and advance purchase is highly recommended as pre-sales are limited to the first 275 passengers. Direct ballpark roundtrip fare is $25.00 for adults, and $12.50 for seniors (65+), youths (ages 6-12), and the disabled.
