The ferry began operating in November of 2018. St. Pete Transportation Manager Cheryl Stacks says 30,000 people used the service in its first four months. That number is up by nearly 40 percent compared to the original 2016-17 pilot program. March and April were the busiest months two years ago. Stacks expects the same this season.
