    It’s great that the Water Taxi has more sailings Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays. If the frequency is now every 40 minutes, that must mean the West Seattle Water Taxi would move faster during that period, too, right? Also, how much of this schedule will stay the same when we get back to the winter sailing schedule? Besides no more late night sailings, will anything else be reverted back?
