Hot Topic Comment "The lift decks were touted in the design for offering more car space on the ferry, and I don’t understand why those spaces are not always on offer for reservations on the boat. There have been many instances, at all times of the year, that reservations were full, but the lift decks were
not in use, or only used for standby travelers, and usually only one at a time. It’s hard enough to get on and off the Island, not using all available spaces seems just plain wasteful, I think." — Christine Napoliton comments on the SSA’s travel complications
Hot Topic Letter Suzanne Kuffler writes to us in response to the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital’s support of the 5:30 Woods Hole
ferry: "If M.V. Hospital has concern for people on the Vineyard, why not have equal concern for the people along the mainland freight and transportation corridor? Taking a position against the consequences of the 5:30 am ferry out of Woods Hole makes sense. There is a lot of literature available about both the long-term and even short-term impact of sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation is not a small matter."
