One of the only ferries around in this area, White's ferry is a life saver (Avg trip saved every day by me is ~30 miles both ways)

Charges are $4 for one way, $6 for round trip.

You can also buy books if you're a frequent commuter, ranging from $52 (time expired tickets) to $84 (nonexpiring tickets)
