Reminder for Washington State Ferries users – a fare increase kicks in on Thursday (May 1st), same day the peak-season vehicle surcharge takes effect. You can check fares for any date using this lookup tool on the WSF website – for example, if you’re riding between Fauntleroy and Vashon as a walk-on tomorrow, it’s $5.10, and then $5.20 starting Thursday; a standard vehicle and driver on the same trip will pay $17.25 tomorrow, $22.05 Thursday.
That is insane! 1st the bus routes are slashed, and now the ferry’s are $22.05. SMH!!
I don’t think that’s right. I’ve been paying (for driver and car) around $10.50 to go from Fauntleroy to Southworth (stop at Vashon). And I think that goes up to like $12.50 (+/- a few). Look at the ferry site and it should tell you.
Ok I went and looked at the site and holy crap, it’s more expensive to go from Fauntleroy to Vashon than Fauntleroy to Southworth……..interesting……..
That’s because the fare to Vashon is roundtrip – they don’t collect again on the return, while they do at Southworth.
Sorry, comment time is over.
