New Westminster plans passenger ferry service from Quay to Queensborough

A new passenger ferry service across the Fraser River could become New Westminster’s equivalent of the AquaBus and False Creek Ferries that run in Vancouver.
The City of New Westminster is planning to start a new passenger ferry service across the Fraser River from a dock near the River Market to the Queensborough neighbourhood.
A request for proposals issued by the City of New Westminster earlier this spring states the municipal government is looking for an experienced private operator to run a pilot passenger ferry service.
The service would run from a dock under the Inn at the Quay near River Market in downtown New Westminster to a dock at Port Royal in Queensborough.
The distance between the two docks is roughly 1 km, which means it would take a small vessel between five and 10 minutes to make a crossing.
