Are there car ferries where you are allowed to stay inside the car? O.o

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago

We have a few here for really short trips. They're basically river crossings

Yes. I've sat inside my car on ferries in Seattle and Cincinnati.

Yes, it's mostly the ones where the trip is very short, like under an hour. Also the ones where the car deck is open.

Yep, in Australia we have a fair few Punts (aka cable ferries) for river crossings in a car, like the Putney Punt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortlake_Ferry) that crosses the Parramatta River.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
