Facebook is testing its own water ferry for employees in San Francisco

All aboard the Facebook ferry. The social network launched a private ferry service last week that will shuttle employees between San Francisco and Redwood City, just a few miles from company headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif. A Facebook spokesperson confirmed the shuttle on Wednesday, which the company is calling a “water taxi.”  Facebook plans to test the shuttle during a 90-day pilot period, at which point the company will reevaluate the service. The boat is a catamaran that holds 30 people, and comes equipped with perks such as Wi-Fi, coffee and snacks, according to the spokesperson. This isn’t the first time that a company has shuttled employees via water taxi. Google announcedits own commuter ferry in early January, and completed a 30-day pilot program last week. The company is now evaluating whether or not the service should come back later this year.
