On a sunny day, just hop from ferry to ferry even. Or choose a set destination and walk around while you wait for the next one back. Sit on top, pop an edible, and enjoy the boating life for ~$3 a pop.
Everyone on board becomes an acquaintance. Which is how it goes when a commute becomes a voyage. There’s usually a snack available. You can gaze out at the ocean or watch the occasional passing boat. The world gets bigger on a ferry
for places that require lots of driving its so easy to overlook cool forms of public transit like a ferry.
took one last night and was reminded how serene and great of a time it is. plus the skyline is just stunning
if i need to travel from point a to point b i may as well do it on a boat. at one point in time i did need to temporarily ban myself from taking the ferry home from work because i’d always purposely miss my stop to enjoy more time on the boat and then have to trek back an extra hour on the subway which was certainly not the most convenient. worth it though.
