Ferry service makes its final crossing   2016-05-04

 

 

A FERRY service that once carried thousands of passengers a day across Yuanchixie Creek in Songjiang District made its final voyage over the weekend after more than 200 years of service.

Fewer than 100 people were aboard the Dongsandu ferry that sailed to Dongxia from Wushe on Saturday, a fraction of the number that once bustled to get aboard.

“At its peak, the ferry would carry about 2,000 passengers a day, but that’s been steadily falling for years,” said Shen Jinshun, the boat’s captain for the past decade.
