History
The service was initially introduced on 14 October 2019, as an on-demand service between four wharves, but was closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2][3] However, it was reintroduced in November 2021 as a timetabled service while the Inner West Light Rail was closed.[4] In December 2022, the service was made permanent.[5]
On 30 March 2026, the F10 service was integrated into the Opal network.[6][7] Prior to this, patrons had to pay for their tickets on board using their credit or debit card. The government intended on incorporating the service into the Opal network by late 2025,[8] but this was later delayed to 2026.[9]
Elizabeth Macarthur Bay public pontoon in Pirrama Park at the north end of Pyrmont was added as a stop from 7 April 2025.[10] Transport for NSW refers to the new ferry stop as Pirrama Park Wharf, Pyrmont.[11]
