In the early 2000s the fleet ran commuter ferry service between the San Francisco Ferry Terminal and the city of Richmond's Richmond Ferry Terminal in the Marina Bay District, however the service was discontinued due to low ridership. This created a large conflict between the Richmond City Council and the R&W Fleet. A vocal opponent of dissolving the service was Green Party mayor Gayle McGlaughlin.[1][2][3]
