Albion Ferry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Albion Ferry is a free passenger and vehicle ferry service (which runs every 15 minutes; From 5:30am until 1:30am) on the Fraser River between Maple Ridge and McMillan Island (Langley Township) in British Columbia. The two ferries, the Kulleet and the Klatawa are operated by TransLink, the regional transit authority in the Greater Vancouver Area. The ferry service is scheduled to be retired when the Golden Ears Bridge is opened, in 2009.^[1] This new bridge will be a toll bridge.

The ferry has been operational since 7 June 1957 and employs 59 full-time and 18 auxiliary employees. In 2003, annual traffic amounted to 1.5 million vehicles and 4.0 million passengers. In June of 2007 it celebrated its 50th anniversary, and was designated as a historical place in Maple Ridge at a anniversary party held.
