    Met my girl when I was living in Port Jeff and she was nannying in Westport. Taking the ferry to see her every weekend was the best! We'll be married soon. Love the ferry, just wish is was more affordable or else I'd visit LI more, since we're in Bridgeport as of now. Driving there is just miserable!

    The building you zoomed in on at 13:12 is the old Bridgeport Harbor Station coal plant. It was decommissioned in June 2021 and is currently awaiting demolition. It was the last active coal-fired power plant in Connecticut at the time of its closure.

    taking your car only includes the driver and it’s a one way only if you take a car. No round trips if bringing your car. there is parking for the ferry and a shuttle but he doesn’t show that.
