Free Water Taxi

At the beginning of May, city officials launched a free water taxi service in the Inner Harbor.

Boats run every 15 minutes from the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Museum in Fells Point to Tide Point in Locust Point.

City officials are hoping that the service alleviates automobile traffic downtown and proves convenient for area residents. It operates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays.

I haven't had a chance to use the free water taxi yet, so I'd love to hear from any of you who have. Is it running smoothly/on-time? Has it proven to be convenient for you? The commercial water taxi services always have struck me as a bit touristy (not that there's anything wrong with that), so I am a bit intrigued by this city project.
