Thank you
This is an interesting list. I wish I had something useful to contribute in the way of prose, but I don't sufficiently understand the period. Jim.henderson 17:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Question marks
I notice there are a lot of lines where the dates are open-ended. Like, "South Ferry, 1836 - ". Having no date indicates that the ferry line is still in operation. If the lines are no longer running, they should have question marks. -Freekee (talk) 18:42, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Are they all defunct?
