Galveston County Daily News, May 19, 2008 Commuters using the ferry to travel between Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula are finding that wait times are less predictable but mostly longer than in the past. The article quotes Colleen McMeekin who lives on the peninsula but commutes daily to UTMB, where she works as an operating room nurse. "There's lines all the time now," she said. "Some people don't want anything to do with Galveston because of the ferry."
