I can remember when there were ferries going to Yarmouth from Portsmouth, NH & Bar Harbour, ME.
I have no idea if either one was subsidized. & that might have been because the roads weren't speedier than 50 mph limits.
Once upon a time I knew the Purser on one of the boats. When some one from the south asked. "How come the ferry takes 2 hours longer to go to Yarmouth from Bar Harbor, than it does to go from Yarmouth to Bar Harbor". He would answer: "One way is up hill." :P
