U.S. to Prince Edward Island and we want to take the ferry across to Nova Scotia as a day trip. We have already taken a house for a week on Prince Edward are hoping to use that location for day trips into Nova Scotia and New Foundland. Anybody that can help us, please speak up. We will be traveling with 2 little chihuahua dogs who weigh 5 and 8 pounds and live inside with us all the time. There are 4 women traveling from Atlanta, Ga.

Flights are so ridiculously expensive between Boston and Halifax, and there's no clear bus or train route anymore. I'm forced to take a bus to Montreal, and then fly from Montreal to Halifax to find a reasonable fare. I'm okay with this longer journey, but would love to see a Boston to Halifax ferry.

You bring up some good points. It's great to hear from those who live outside of Halifax and Yarmouth. Thanks for the comment, Paula. You bring up some good points.

I will be perfectly clear..I am not a, “I-Couldn’t-Really-Care" Nova Scotian just because I don't support a ferry service that cannot sustain itself. By the way, isn't that the goal of this Province and its communities? To be developing business that is sustainable? After all these years and bailout after bailout the CAT proved to be too expensive to run for the benefit or need it brought to its customers. Nova Scotia/Boston by air can be cheaper a lot of the time, even with packages that include a car. It is too bad that the operators of the CAT couldn't get the formula for success right, but it is not the fault or the responsibility of the government and the people of Nova Scotia to bail out this company yet again...or any other company in this Province no matter the industry for that matter.
