Friday, January 10, 2014 Google hires private ferry service for workers' commuteGoogle's newest employee perk involves an 83-foot, Wi-Fi-equipped catamaran, the Triumphant, which sails workers from San Francisco's ferry terminal to the Port of Redwood City where they can hop a private bus to the company's campus in Silicon Valley. The free employee ferry service can carry up to 150 passengers and runs its 47-minute voyages twice each morning and evening, according to KPIX-TV. The private service started on the same day that San Francisco city officials announced Google and other big tech companies, which use public bus stops to pick up thousands of employees on private shuttles, must pay roughly $1 per stop per day as part of an 18-month pilot program.
