A recent regular rider on the water taxi shared praise for what the water taxi has done for her commute and her stress levels.

“I became a regular rider on the West Seattle-downtown morning ferry a couple of months ago. It’s been a great experience and has lowered my stress level WAY down (now that I’m not driving to work). I absolutely love my commute now!”

The same passenger also shared a story about how the staff rescued a baby bird, and what a great job the staff do overall.

“Some of us passengers noticed a baby pigeon in the water floating near the water taxi dock. We were concerned because pigeons don’t swim and it was a baby with no other pigeons around. We asked the ‘water taxi guys’ if they could rescue it with a net. They did rescue the baby pigeon with a net on the next run after ours, and then put the baby pigeon somewhere safe away from the water.”

“I just wanted to express my thanks that they did this. What a bunch of great guys you have working on the water taxi!”
