What Makes For Good Ferry Design?

However, the designers were completely clueless as to how a ferry works on the inside. They essentially decided that all transit users were like BART passengers and traveled in groups of one. Thus the floor plan allows only a handful of people to sit together... One of the main differences between ferry services and other transit services is simply the opportunity to meet your neighbors and discuss the day’s events. For those who bother to read history, the 1930 accounts of ferry service reported on the camaraderie that developed on board, with special holiday events and even live music.
