By The Alameda Pulse
SF Bay Ferry is teaming up with Uber to knock $2.85 off rides to and from the Alameda Seaplane Terminal, giving ferry riders in Alameda, CA a cheaper way to close the last mile between the dock and home.
- Where: Rides to or from the Alameda Seaplane Terminal at Alameda Point
- Discount: $2.85 off an eligible Uber ride, applied automatically once claimed
- Who it's for: Alameda-based passengers connecting to or from the ferry, per SF Bay Ferry
- Who's behind it: San Francisco Bay Ferry, in partnership with Uber
- How to get it: Claim the voucher at sfbayferry.com and load it into the Uber Wallet before you ride
How do I get the SF Bay Ferry Uber discount?
You claim a voucher through SF Bay Ferry's website, then load it into your Uber account before you request a ride. Once it's in your Uber Wallet, the $2.85 credit applies automatically to an eligible trip. The agency's page walks through it step by step: download the Uber app if you don't have it, open the Account tab, go to Wallet, and enter the voucher code there.
If the discount doesn't show up right away, SF Bay Ferry's own troubleshooting tips say to restart the Uber app and make sure you're running the latest version. The voucher shows up in your Uber Wallet and again on the trip confirmation screen once it's applied.
Where does the discount work?
It's built for trips that connect to the Alameda Seaplane Terminal, the ferry dock at Alameda Point where boats leave for downtown San Francisco and Oakland. SF Bay Ferry describes it as a discount for "Alameda-based passengers traveling to and from" that terminal, the kind of first- or last-mile trip that can otherwise mean a long walk, a bike ride, or a bus connection to get to the water.
The agency's page doesn't spell out a daily ride limit, specific hours, or an end date for the offer, so residents who want the fine print on eligibility should check the terms when they claim their own voucher.
Why does a $2.85 discount matter?
It sounds small, but for a lot of Alameda residents, the ferry has always come with an asterisk: getting to the terminal itself. Alameda Point sits apart from most neighborhoods, and not everyone lives an easy walk or bike ride from the seaplane lagoon. A rideshare discount aimed specifically at that connection is the kind of unglamorous fix that can actually change whether someone chooses the ferry over driving into the city.
What happens next
The offer was live on SF Bay Ferry's site as of September 18, 2026, with no listed expiration. Residents who ride the ferry regularly can claim a voucher now and see it applied automatically the next time they need an Uber ride to or from the terminal.
