We’ve mentioned the possibility of having ferry service for bicyclists and pedestrians wanting to cross between the U.S. and Canada without needing a car. (Yes, pedestrians can use the Transit Windsor tunnel bus.)
Now the Windsor Star has an article discussing this possibility.
North America’s largest private passenger ferry company is in discussions with Windsor and Detroit port officials to link the two border cities by boat.
NY Waterway, operator of the largest ferry fleet in the New York harbour, has participated in several meetings locally about launching a service across the Detroit River that would focus on transporting commuters, operating tours and carrying fans to sporting events such as Detroit Red Wings’ games.
Of course this is far from being a done deal according to the article. NY Waterway still needs to determine if this is economically feasible.
We sure hope it is.
