Future Ferry Support
Members of the Waze staff and Waze champs have discussed having a better way to support ferries.
Future updates to waze might/should include to better support ferry routes:
- Having a ferry road type.
- Having the ability to add a Point A and Point B, as opposed to a road across the water. This will allow waze to include longer ferries that take more then 2hrs.
- Allowing editors to input scheduled sailing so that waze can properly route based on when the ferry will leave and not just restrict the ferry when its unavailable.
- Allowing editors to input the fare. Instead of just a flat Toll. This way Wazer's can debate weather they want to pay the fare or pay for gas to go around ferry (if there is an alternate route).
- Allow wait time for ferries that get clogged up.
As of Feb 2014, there is no set schedule when Waze will add further support for ferry routes, but it is in the list of future features.
