Boats in the SF Bay Ferry fleet can travel across the Bay’s waters for more than 30 years, so choosing their names has always been a careful process. But who chose those names? And why? https://alamedapost.com/news/how-bay-area-named-next-five-sf-bay-ferries/

A couple of years back I had the pleasure of riding commuter rail in the UK and Europe. In the bicycle spaces, they had charge points. And guess what? Wheelchair users could access the charge points as well.
And, while a 30 minute commute ride doesn't get you a full charge, it might be enough to get you home...
#BART, #CalTrain, #SMART, #SFBayFerry, #WestCAT, #GoldenGateTransit - you guys all have long trips. How about stepping up with in-transit charging?
San Francisco Bay Ferry is celebrating the commissioning of Zalophus, the agency’s newest high-speed passenger ferry. Zalophus’s name was nominated by second-grader Reed Marvin, who chose the name because it is part of the scientific name of the California sea lion, famous in the Bay. https://alamedapost.com/news/sf-bay-ferry-celebrates-commissioning-clean-high-speed-zalophus/
