SF Bay Ferry is prepared to help travelers cross the Bay during the BART system shutdown on Friday, September 5.
The ferry operator will run its regularly scheduled transbay service on Friday and is preparing to offer additional surge capacity based on updates from BART and regional partners. Additional trips may be added on the Oakland route to support transbay travel.
