"You don't need air conditioning. You don't get that kind of weather here," said Paul Wilson, a Richmond resident. Passengers on board the Richmond ferry heading to San Francisco didn't pay a dime, all to soak in views that people travel from across the world to see. The ferry offered a much-needed escape from the scorching temperatures amid a rare October heat wave."
"The idea today is knowing that we all have power in our individual actions, and we can advocate to government as well, and it's really a job we can do 365 days a year," said John Gioia, a Contra Costa County supervisor. He emphasized that everyone can contribute to clean air efforts, highlighting the importance of collective action to tackle air pollution issues every day.
"Once you get hooked on transit, especially the ferry, you may end up taking it more frequently or even trying it on the weekends instead of driving into San Francisco for a fun day in the city," Gioia noted about the long-term benefits of using public transport, which can lead to a more sustainable lifestyle.
"I think this is great that the ferry, today, especially because we just got into Indian summer, so it's great day to be out. I mean look at this. This is a fantastic day to be out on the Bay," Wilson explained, celebrating a perfect day for outdoor activities and taking advantage of the free ferry rides.
