  It's one of the largest ferry systems in the world. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_State_Ferries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_State_Ferries > The agency maintains the largest fleet of ferries in the United States at 22 vessels, carrying 23 million passengers in 2014. As of 2014 , it was the largest ferry operator in the United States, and the fourth-largest ferry system in the world.

  They are very scenic, affordable, and convenient.

  Off topic: To me, an amazing ferry would permit that you drive onto the ferry at 80 mph, and maintain speed for the duration of the trip, and then exit the ferry at 80 mph. Going slower is permissible, and pit stops are accomodated in an onboard rest area. I'd be impressed by a ferry that handles an entire freeway like that, and connects two ports separated by hundreds of miles of water.

    Your "ferry" would have to be a minimum of several miles long. It would be a motorized section of road.
