The Wonderful World of Ferries: Episode 37

(or listen on YouTube)

Ferries, even in the era of mile-long bridges, are anything but obsolete. We discuss types and technologies, history, and successful modern ferry systems—most notably the Washington State Ferries. Also noted: one ferry in Utah; cleaner power experiments; the Staten Island Ferry, which should be a subway line.
