Here are some advantages of the use of a ferry boat to cross a body of water compared to a bridge:
- A ferry can cross a large expanse of water that would cost millions to build a bridge over.
- A ferry can carry a weight that is too heavy for a bridge to support.
- A ferry may be used for several routes according to need, whereas a bridge is fixed in a single route.
- A ferry may support a larger volume of vehicles than a bridge.
- A ferry may serve a place where building a bridge is infeasible for engineering reasons.
- A ferry may have a lower capital cost than a bridge for a given route, encouraging investors to set it up.
