Now that the COP 28 has dictated a transition away from fossil fuels, it’s time that our Steamship Authority begins charging more for big vehicles or less for smaller ones. Such policy could create some space on ferries so that bicycles could go aboard for free. Massachusetts commuter rail takes bikes for free on most trains, why not on our big boats? Vineyard shoppers could do errands in Falmouth, using the bike path, without a car reservation.
It won’t cost very much for the Steamship Authority to think. Then, they could act.

Let's do the math. My Toyota
Enough Already Oak BluffsLet's do the math. My Toyota Highlander fits 7 passengers and takes up just over 16 feet. A Smart car holds 2 passengers and takes up just under 9 feet. So to accommodate 7 people in Smart cars would take up an additional 20 feet of space. Why should the smaller vehicles which are much less efficient in moving people get a reduced price?
Do you mostly bring seven
MartyDo you mostly bring seven passengers on the boat? I see so many giant suvs with one or two people in them. When I can see into the cars lurking over my small 4 door sedan.
