The Barberi class of boats, the two 6,000 passenger boats were delivered in the early 1980's. Before that time, according to Hank E. and the research that I've done, the rush hour schedule of ferries was more frequent. The two Barberri class boats replaced a number of older ferries. I have was told that the rush hour schedule was changed to reflect a) the reduced number of boats, and the fact that the two new boats carried twice as many riders as the boats they replaced. As I understand it, the late evening, and weekend schedules were not affected by the arrival of the larger boats, when the boats ran at 30 and 60 minutes apart.Mike |
