GOTHAM FERRY SYSTEM
MOVING 8 MILLION PEOPLE A YEAR

A DIVISION OF GOTHAM'S DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

THE GOTHAM FERRY
The Gotham Ferry keeps its fair city on the move, with an annual total of 8 million people using the service. 28,000 passengers a day - not including weekend days - travel between the Sheal Terminal and Pettsburg Terminal. Service is provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Gotham Ferry boasts reliability, with over 97 percent in on-time recorded trips.

The ferry is the only non-vehicular mode of transportation between Gotham and the mainland. Gotham City Transit operates and maintains the five vessel fleet as well as the Sheal Maritime Building and all floating dock building equipment.

The ferry can carry 36 cars and up to 4,200 passengers. Each ferry has a snack bar and two tourist decks where passengers can sit outside.

The Gotham Ferry is proudly authorized by the Gotham Department of Transportation to transport commuters to and from Gotham. However, many savvy citizens and tourists have also discovered that the great view and convenience of the ferry can make for a romantic outing! One guide book calls it "A peaceful, relaxing, and fuss-free journey."
