ferry services
Boats carrying passengers
Ferry services are transportation systems that move passengers, vehicles, or cargo across bodies of water on a regular schedule.
The term covers everything from small boats crossing rivers to large vessels connecting islands or coastal cities: The ferry services to Staten Island run around the clock.
Unlike charter boats, ferry services operate fixed routes at set times.
