1. Nanjing

(1) Banqiao Ferry

Banqiao Ferry was completed and put into operation on April 28, 1996, at the same time as the second phase of the Nanjing Ring Road. As the only cross-river ferry in the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River, it is not only an important supplement to the existing cross-river channels in the Nanjing section of the Yangtze River, but also bears the important tasks of relieving urban traffic pressure, connecting the north and south ring roads of the Yangtze River, and diverting cross-river traffic.

Banqiao Ferry is 3.7 kilometers upstream of the Nanjing Yangtze River Third Bridge (Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge), and the fare for small cars is 15 yuan per trip.

(2) Ningpu Passenger Ferry (passenger transport)

Zhongshan Wharf on the south bank and Pukou Wharf on the north bank. After the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic in 1968, the demand for ferry crossings decreased, and the passenger flow at Zhongshan Wharf dropped rapidly.

(3) Yanba Ferry (passenger transport)

Yanziji Wharf on the south bank, Baguazhou Wharf on the north bank. Nearby is Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge No. 2 (Baguazhou Yangtze River Bridge).

The north bank of Gaozhang Ferry connects to Ningtong Expressway and Coastal Expressway; the south bank connects to major highways such as the southern section of National Highway 204 and the Southern Jiangsu River Expressway. The completion and opening of Gaozhang Ferry will play a positive role in promoting regional economic development. Gaozhang Ferry is located 17 kilometers upstream of the Shanghai-Suzhou-Nantong Yangtze River Bridge.

(5) Haitai Ferry

In summary, compared with bridges and tunnels, ferries have a shorter construction period, lower construction costs, and can quickly form transportation capacity. However, bridges and tunnels are convenient and fast to pass through, which is more conducive to improving the transportation capacity of the entire line. Therefore, with the construction and development of bridges and tunnels, ferries will gradually be replaced in most cases. For example, the completion of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge in 1957 ended the history of passengers, freight and vehicles only being able to cross the Yangtze River by ferry, and connected the Beijing-Hankou Railway and the Yue-Hankou Railway into a Beijing-Guangzhou Railway; the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge built in 1968 replaced the ferry, making the Beijing-Shanghai Railway fully connected; the English Undersea Railway Tunnel across the English Channel, which was completed and opened to traffic in May 1994, replaced the English Channel railway and road ferries, connecting the United Kingdom and the European continent.
