From the 14th century a ferry linked Yoker with the town of Renfrew on the south bank. Although shipbuilding has all but disappeared in Yoker, the last remaining Clyde Ferry still crosses from Yoker to Renfrew, having operated the same route since the 14th century.

Motor vehicles and tramcars were also manufactured in Yoker, which is now an operations centre for Glasgow’s suburban rail service.
