Talk:MBTA boat

Are boats integrated into the MBTA fare system?
Are those boats integrated into the MBTA fare system (i.e. same fare as a bus/subway, may be used with Charlie Card) or do they charge a premium for the view?--Soylentyellow 13:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Sort of. I'll try and answer in article. -- Chris j wood (talk) 08:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * To answer my own question nearly a year later: Yes, at least the F2 from Long Wharf (near Aquarium) to Quincy was free with the Charlie Card, i.e. integrated into the MBTA fare system. --Soylentyellow (talk) 18:04, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Article title
On April 10, Dream out loud renamed this article to MBTA Commuter Boat with the comment correct title. I beg to differ. If you look at navigation box on the right of, you will see that when the MBTA talks about commuter boats, they mean F1, F2 and their variations, but not F4 (the inner harbor service). As this article covers both inner harbor and commuter boats, I've renamed it to MBTA Boat.

Arguably the title should be MBTA boat, depending on whether you think the boat bit is a part of a proper noun, or just a descriptor. But as that name has history, I cannot move over it. If anybody feels strongly it should be MBTA boat, go ahead and change it through the rename process. -- Chris j wood (talk) 08:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Article for the Charlestown Navy Yard Ferry Terminal?
Should there be an article about the Charlestown Navy Yard Ferry Terminal, or perhaps Pier 4 if that's more inclusive of nearby features? Seems like there should be, just like there are articles for many other mass transit / infrastructure stops, but I'm less familiar with public transportation article standards so I'm curious what others think. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:05, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

 * I don't think it's worth a standalone article - it's basically just a small metal dock. I don't have any information about the terminal other than the very brief history that's already in this article, so it'd be hard to flesh out a new article. If anything, I would put it as a section in Charlestown Naval Shipyard Park, which appears to surround the ferry terminal. The only of the MBTA ferry terminals that's probably worth a standalone article at this time is Hingham, which had a rather large new building constructed a few years ago.
