Pictures Angie Basdekis Source: News Limited A CITY ferry service on the Yarra has returned. The Yarra Loop service departs every 30 minutes from WTC Wharf near Spencer St and stops at South Wharf, Southgate and Federation Square. It runs Fridays from 4pm to 7pm and weekends from 11am to 5pm. Last year, about 2500 people used the service provided by firm Asset 1 WTC. With a growing number of premier restaurants, bars, shopping and entertainment precincts opening up along the Yarra, we anticipate numbers this year to increase dramatically, said Asset 1 spokesman Philip Hill. Prices range from $2 for a single child's trip to $10 for an adult day trip. The service will stop on March 30 next year.
