Ferry

water transport · boats · travel

Carries across water. A ferry is a special boat or ship that takes passengers from one side of water to the other, kind of like a bridge made of metal and wood that can move.

People and stuff. Most ferries carry lots of passengers, but some big ones also transport cars and trucks across the water so you don't have to drive all the way around.

Water taxi vibes. In Venice, Italy, small ferries called water buses or water taxis zoom through the canals and stop at different spots, just like buses stop at street corners.

Different sizes. Ferries come in all different sizes, from tiny boats that carry just a few people to huge ships that can hold hundreds of passengers at once.

Connects communities. Ferries help people in island towns and cities split by water get to where they need to go without building expensive bridges.
