From the March 8th Wilmington(NC) Star-News.
Like every state, North Carolina is having financial problems. The governor has proposed raising fares on the state ferries, including the Fort Fisher-Southport one that takes you across the Cape Fear River near its mouth.
Right now, the fare is $5 a car and passengers each way, a really good deal. It is proposed to raise fares to $10 for car and driver and an additional $2 per passenger.
i still do not feel this is outrageous as it is a 30-40 minute trip and probably saves 40-50 miles if you have to drive north to Wilmington to cross the river. And, then, there is the horrific Wilmington traffic where it seems everyone drives all the time.
I am sure this will have an impact on visitors to Fort Fisher, unfortunately.
Still a Deal. --Old B-R'er
