Have you experienced our sister company, Chicago Water Taxi? In 1962, Wendella launched a rush-hour commuter service between Michigan Avenue and the Northwestern Railroad Station, offering city commuters a convenient option on the Chicago River. Originally named Wendella RiverBus in 1999, the service was rebranded as Chicago Water Taxi in 2007, expanding its fleet, routes, and enhancing the overall commuter experience.

FUN FACT FRIDAY ➡️ The La Salle Street Bridge is one of the few bascule bridges in Chicago that features four bridge tender houses. While typically only two would be necessary, the decision to include four was likely made for aesthetic reasons.

See how we clean up our river? Very demure, very mindful. ✨

Happy National Clean Up Day! 🌍 Meet our Seabin, the river's unsung hero, tirelessly keeping the waters clean, safe, and healthy. By drawing in water and debris from the surface through a submersible pump, it plays a crucial role in preserving the river's pristine condition. A huge thank you to our dedicated volunteers who regularly check and empty it, ensuring a cleaner environment for all!
