Ferry Service As a Transit Alternative

Ferry service is not readily available everywhere like bus/trains are, but can be a great alternative of transportation for those locations are separated by a body of water. It’s where water meets the road.

Ferry service is not readily available everywhere like bus/trains are, but can be a great alternative of transportation for those locations are separated by a body of water. It’s where water meets the road.

There’s the aesthetic value of ferry service; a more relaxing mode of transport with great scenery that appeals to riders who are looking for a different form of transportation, to break the daily routine.

In the United States, there are more than 29,000 miles of waterways; including rivers, lakes and others. Being one of the oldest forms of transportation; dating back to the 1600s.

A great advantage with ferry services is that not only it carries passengers, but their vehicles as well; this a unique form of transportation.

In most parts of the world, ferries are one of the safest forms of transportation.

Another advantage is the environment. Ferries cut down the fumes that are normally emitted by other vehicles. It also helps alleviate traffic.

Our Experience with Ferry Service

E-Paper Displays

Electronic, or e-paper displays are a technology with reflective display. This technology mimics the appearance of ink on paper. However, these displays require very little power, since they reflect light rather than emit it.

Boost Ridership for Public Transit

Ever since COVID-19, public transit agencies have come up with different strategies to boost ridership. Public transit ridership reached an all time low when COVID-19 restrictions hit. With everyone working from home, it impacted public transit in a way unseen before.
