Postcard of New Orleans. Aerial view from over the river near the foot of Canal Street looking lakewards. The Canal Street Ferry at the Canal Wharf visible at bottom center. To right is the since demolished Iberville Street Wharf, beyond it the old Louisville & Nashville Station, one of the city's major railway terminals. To left on the river is a paddle wheel ship. Canal Street seen running diagonally, looking like it extends to Lake Pontchartrain-- it looks to me like the artist who modified the photo to add false color has moved the lakefront in a bit closer to the front of the city.

Where these numbers come from

Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.

Observed service A carrier record shows this named operator serving this named pair, and we carry that through unchanged.

Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.
