Chicago commuter boat shuttles move downtown on river Sunliner
Patrick Dwyer joins a growing Chicago flow from suburb to city with a two hour round trip on the 65 foot Sunliner commuter boat. Wendella runs the service under Captain Albert Borgstrom who built a river fleet used for daily rides and sightseeing. The program, in its 10th season, offers seven minute rides for 40 cents single and $3.50 for ten tickets, linking Madison Street Bridge area to near North Side offices while rival river pilots note New York’s hydrofoil failures.
