The shuttle will make 37 trips a day between the two cities.
The Oakland Alameda Water Shuttle begins service between the two cities on July 17. The free shuttle will have room for 34 people and 14 bikes. A new free water shuttle between Alameda Landing on the west end of the island of Alameda at the base of the tubes and Jack London Square in Oakland is slated to begin later this month.
“There is huge lack of access on the western side of Alameda to get to Oakland,” Hu-Nguyen said. “We’ve been waiting for this for a long time.” “We are thrilled to find a means to create a pleasant linkage for pedestrians and bicyclists between Oakland and Alameda’s west end,” said Mike O’Hara, the chair of the board of the Alameda Transportation Management Association in a statement. “This gap has existed for far too long, and we very much appreciate the commitment of our funding partners, the City of Alameda and SF Bay Ferry to make this shuttle come to life.
