Google has slowly changed how it displays driving directions to limit routes to ones it thinks burn less fuel. When plugging in the drive to get to my parents it presents one option that uses a ferry. The directions treat the ferry like a bridge that you could use at any time, and it no longer presents alternate routes that use actual roads.
The ferry runs twice a day.

Even better. On my phone it presents an alternative. That takes a different ferry that only runs once a day.

@Apiary 'Fun' fact: marine fuel is unregulated sludge, can even have lead in it. Very dirty, very inefficient and accounts for about 2% global CO2 emissions.

@nf3xn coastal areas tend to be more regulated when it comes to emissions, but I actually don’t know if this area has marine fuel regulations.

@Apiary Marine fuel is largely unregulated, it is the dirtiest fuel on earth, and gets leaked into the sea. It even has lead in it. We should go back to sail... with robot sailors. The "Taylor Swift's PJs" warriors (if genuine) efforts would be much better focused here.
