Cross Sound Ferry

Cross Sound Ferry is a passenger and road vehicle ferry service operating between New London, Connecticut and Orient, Long Island, New York. The service is privately owned and operated by Cross Sound Ferry Services, Inc., headquartered in New London. According to the company's website, it serves over one million passengers annually.
==Geographic imperative for service==
Long Island extends more than 110 miles east-northeastward from the East River in New York City. Its north shore roughly parallels the southern shore of the State of Connecticut, separated from the latter first by the East River and then by Long Island Sound. Though there have been multiple proposals to bridge the sound at various points, there is currently no bridge, nor any active plans for a bridge east of the Throgs Neck Bridge that extends from the New York City Borough of Queens to the Borough of The Bronx. Therefore, Long Island motorists located east of that bridge must first drive west, cross one of the three city bridges to the mainland, and then drive east to reach most New England destinations. This circuitous route could, at the extreme, add as much as 200 miles to a trip to or from Long Island to New London and points north and east. In addition to the saving in mileage, use of the ferry or the other major Long Island-Connecticut ferry from Port Jefferson to Bridgeport, Connecticut avoids heavy urban traffic in New York City and on Interstate 95 in Connecticut.
