Virginia's nearly 400-year-old ferry is pretty great!

The Elizabeth River Ferry connects downtown Norfolk, Virginia, with its neighbor across the Elizabeth River, Portsmouth. This is one of my favorite transit lines ever, and certainly one of the best operated by Hampton Roads Transit, so I hope you enjoy my ferry fanaticism! This video is my submission to the ‪@ClassyWhale‬ One Line Wonders Challenge! *This ferry has a history that reaches nearly four centuries ago, with a brief gap in service occurring between 1955 and 1983. Don't worry; the boats themselves are less than ten years old!
