If you ride the ferry much at all, you’ve
noticed the boxes that look like turnstyles at the Colman Dock.
They look like turnstyles because they are turnstyles, at least
they will be.
The boxes are part of the ferry system’s planned migration to an electronic ticketing system. It was supposed to be in place by last fall, but apparently there were some technical difficulties, as they say. Once it actually is in place you’ll be able to buy your tickets online, at electronic kiosks, terminals, stores, or by phone. You’ll take whatever you’re buying and scan it at the turnstyle and you’ll be on your way. They’ll test the program up north before rolling it out here.
