Richmond Ferry Terminal
Richmond Ferry Terminal (historically Ellis Landing) is a former ferry terminal located in the Marina Bay neighborhood of Richmond, California.
==History==
Specifically, the terminal is located at Ford Point on the Richmond Inner Harbor which opens onto the East Bay of San Francisco Bay. Ford Point derives its name from the historic Ford Plant that is located nearby which is now being converted to an industrial park.
The terminal hosted a commuter ferry service to the San Francisco Ferry Building weekdays and Fisherman's Wharf on weekends in addition to special Giant's Ballpark service during the baseball season. The voyage took approximately 45 minutes one-way. The service began in 1999, but was discontinued in the late 2000s in the economic downturn following the dot-com bust. Ferry ridership plummeted and the service became economically unsustainable, which led Red and White Fleet to discontinue the service. In fact the average ridership was 45 per trip and about 200 were needed for fiscal sustainability.〔(Richmond hoping ferry service can be revived ), by Katherine Tam, ''West County Times'', July 10, 2008, access date July 13, 2008〕
The terminal had its own dedicated AC Transit feeder service from Point Richmond and downtown Richmond with route 374 also now discontinued.〔(New Ferry to Serve Interstate 80 Commuters ), ''Metropolitan Transportation Commission'', September 1999, retrieved August 1, 2007〕〔(Richmond Ferry to Sail ), ''San Francisco Chronicle'', by Michael Cabanatuan, September 27, 1999, retrieved August 1, 2007〕〔(Richmond Ferry Wins Praise But Few Riders ), ''San Francisco Chronicle'' by Benjamin Pimentel, October 6, 1999, retrieved August 1, 2007〕
