ferry service
Boat route operation
A ferry service is a scheduled boat operation that transports passengers, vehicles, or cargo across a body of water.
Ferry services connect points where bridges are impractical or unavailable—across rivers, bays, channels, or between islands: The ferry service to Martha's Vineyard runs hourly in summer.
Some ferry services are brief crossings; others are overnight voyages.
