I suggest posting to the TRANSIT list (this one seems to be close to death).

Popular ferries I know of include: San Francisco area (many, run by Golden
Gate Transit and others), Vancouver (SeaBus run by BC Transit), Quebec
City/Levis, and the English Channel.

I should qualify this. These are run as part of an overall transit system,
where building a bridge (either for buses or trains) would be impractical.
There are of course many other ferries to recreational areas on islands.
