A harbor ferry across San Diego Bay and two free Caltrans cable ferries in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta.
The first western crossing on this site is a city service rather than a road link. Coronado sits across San Diego Bay from the Embarcadero, and a private operator, Flagship Cruises & Events, runs the boats between the two. Outside the early commuter sailings every ride is paid: $9.00 one way for anyone aged four and over.
What trips people up is the mainland side. Broadway Pier sends a boat every hour, while the Convention Center's Fifth Avenue Landing, about a mile to the south-east, runs every 30 minutes, and both land at the same Coronado Ferry Landing. Early on weekday mornings a set of free commuter sailings runs as well, which the city and the operator describe slightly differently; the route page sets out both readings.
Inland, Caltrans keeps two small cable ferries in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta, both free and both meant to run at any hour. The J-Mack carries Highway 220 over Steamboat Slough between Grand Island and Ryer Island, six vehicles at a time; the Real McCoy II leaves the Rio Vista side every 20 minutes for Ryer Island. When one of them is out of service, the other is the shorter way round.
