railway line from St. Catharines to Thorold 10 October 1887 (trial run 05 October 1887).
Urban ferry boat services.
Water barriers create a specific local transportation need, and ferries and
other marine transportation is the solution at places and times
where a bridge is not possible or practical. While a few services are obviously urban
transit (for example the seabus in Vancouver and the Dartmouth ferry), there
is a large grey area, especially historically, where boats play or played
a role in getting people from place to place in an urban area.
Early ferry services also operated between Edmonton and Strathcona, between
Southport [Stratford] and
Charlottetown, and in the
Saint John area.
Other ferry services are noted for
