The State of CT is considering a proposal to raise the cost to cross the CT River by ferry. The rate hike would double the current fare, raising it from $3 to $6 for a one-way crossing per motor vehicle.
The last time ferry rates were raised was back in 2003. The fare increase would impact both the Chester-Hadlyme and the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury ferries.
The Hadlyme Public Hall Association, who was instrumental in the fight to save the ferries from being shut down, recently started a petition drive opposing the fare increase.
What do you think? Would you pay $6 to use the ferry or will the potential rate increase deter you from crossing the CT River by ferry?
