Long way around Manitoulin

Bug Reports

When routing from Toronto to, say, Thunder Bay, and with “Avoid Ferries” disabled (i.e, ferries allowed), ABRP insists on routing the long way around Georgian Bay. This even if you add “Owen Sound Manitoulin Ferry Terminal” as a stop! It takes you there, then back south and all around! What gives?

Where does this happen?

    OK it turns out that “Exclude Tolls” triggers this. Normal English usage is to consider the cost of a ferry ride as “passage”, as a travel ticket, distinct from a “toll”, which dictionaries define as a small amount of money for the liberty to use a road or bridge. But if you guys consider it a toll, that’s OK, just say so - at least move the “Exclude Tolls” button right beside the “Exclude Ferries” button.

    So I guess you can close this issue.
