The City of Vallejo and its operating units Vallejo Transit and Baylink, will present a Rider Appreciation Day in September kicking off a 3-day celebration of 23 years of the ferry service from Vallejo to San Francisco. As part of the celebration, and in an effort to promote more ferry usage, all persons purchasing a Monthly Pass for September will receive an extra bonus with their purchase. Most Monthly Passes will come with 2 free Day Passes for the Baylink Ferry. This will allow monthly commuters to give the tickets to family or friends who may not be as familiar with using the Vallejo ferry system on a regular basis. Other lucky and randomly selected monthly commuters will receive a free October Monthly Pass or a free 10-Ride Punch Card. September Monthly Passes with this special bonus go on sale on August 20th and can be purchased at the Bay Crossings Store in the San Francisco Ferry Building or the Vallejo Ferry Terminal.

The City of Vallejo’s Rider Appreciation Day, taking place on Thursday, September 10th, will feature several events both on and off of the ferryboats. The Vallejo Ferry Terminal will be providing coffee and snacks in the morning with live entertainment and a local Vendor Marketplace planned for the afternoon. Other events are expected to take place on the ferries including raffles and refreshments with all riders that day receiving a gift bag including items and discounts provided by vendors from PIER 39, the Historic San Francisco Ferry Building as well as local Vallejo merchants. The celebration will include Vallejo bus riders as well. Additional information on the 3-day event will be available at www.vallejotransit.com or www.baylinkferry.com.
