passenger ferry
Cross-water transit vessel
A passenger ferry is a boat or ship that carries people across a body of water on a regular route.
Ferries typically connect points where bridges are impractical or unavailable—across rivers, bays, or between islands and the mainland.
Some carry vehicles as well as passengers: We took the passenger ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island.
