What are ferry systems?

A ferry system is like a boat bus that takes people and cars across water to get from one place to another.

Imagine you're playing on the beach, and there's a big lake or river nearby. A ferry is like a big boat that goes back and forth between two sides of the water, just like how a bus goes between stops in your town. People can walk onto it, or even drive their cars on board!

How It Works

When you get on a ferry, it sails across the water to the other side. Then, everyone gets off, and maybe some new people get on! The ferry keeps going back and forth all day long, helping lots of people move from one place to another.

It's like having a giant toy boat that never stops moving, taking you where you need to go, even if there’s water in the way.
