Cities that are surrounded by waterways such as Venice use ferries extensively as part of their public transport system. In such cases ferries are employed to do the work of bridges and tunnels as their relative capital cost is much lower. These foot passenger only ferries are sometimes called waterbuses or even water taxis.

The cross-Channel ferry route was established in 1841. This was to ensure that there was a link between the British and the continental rail networks.
