DOWNTOWN — Soon, commuters will be able to traverse Downtown via L, land, and sea. 

Chicago Water Taxi will resume weekday Downtown service Monday morning. The boats will float between three stops along the Chicago River: Ogilvie Transportation Center, between LaSalle and Clark streets near the Merchandise Mart, and by the Wrigley Building on Michigan Avenue.

Weekday rides Monday will cost $3 each, with all-day, 10-ride, and monthly passes also available. A Chicago Water Taxi competitor, Shoreline Sightseeing, will begin service in May.
