Bay Crossings Suspends Release of April Issue

Due to the standing stay-at-home order for non-essential activities in the Bay Area, we regret to announce that Bay Crossings will not be releasing an April issue.

With ferry ridership down by more than 90 percent and tourism at a complete halt, most of the distribution points for the publication have little to no activity and with national guidelines restricting movement through the end of April, we see no reason to put out a print publication at this time. This is the first time in the two-decade history of our publication that a monthly issue will not be released.

Our goal at this time is to publish a special Bay Crossings April/May issue in the coming weeks that will feature articles covering the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Bay Area ferry system and tourism industry—effects that are not regularly covered in other news media. These are the industries that have supported Bay Crossings over the years, and we want to return the favor in this current challenging environment.

Our staff writers are currently working on several assignments and we will be posting these articles here on the www.baycrossings.com website as they come in. The website will continue to post updates regarding the ferry system, including schedule updates, on an ongoing basis.
