ferry systems
Harbor shuttle networks
Ferry systems are networks of boat services that transport passengers, vehicles, and cargo across bodies of water on regular routes.
They function as extensions of road networks where bridges or tunnels are impractical: The city's ferry system connects the downtown waterfront to outlying islands.
Large ferry systems may integrate with public transit, using standardized fares and schedules.
