*a boat used to carry (or “ferry”) passengers (or vehicles + cargo) across a body of water*
.
(a ferry is a ‘merchant vessel’ used to carry ‘passengers’ (and sometimes ‘vehicles’ / ‘cargo’ as well) – across a body of water*
.
Most ferries operate regular return services.
.
*a ‘passenger ferry’ with many stops (such as in ‘venice’ / ‘italy’) is sometimes called a ‘water bus/taxi’*
.
*’ferries’ form a part of the public transport systems of many waterside cities and islands, allowing direct transit between points at a capital cost much lower than bridges or tunnels*
.
*however, ‘ship connections’ of much larger distances (such as over ‘long distances’ in ‘water bodies’ like the ‘mediterranean sea’) may also be called ‘ferry services’, especially if they carry ‘vehicles’*
