Seattle area ferries not calculated in routes
Not all Seattle-area ferries are considered in route calculations. For instance, you can select Seattle-Bremerton, but not Bremerton-Seattle.
- Where does this happen?

Examples for previous post showing that Bremerton-Seattle ferry is used for routes that start and end at the ferry terminal, but not for routes that are literally only blocks longer.

I think what is going on is that the Seattle-Bremerton/Bremerton-Seattle run is much longer than the other ferries in the area since it runs all the way along Rich Passage into Bremerton. I was puzzled by this at first because it generated what looked like absurd routes to me, so I tried routing from the Bremerton terminal to the Seattle terminal at the other end of the route and it did actually offer the Bremerton-Seattle ferry as an option (the first screen capture), but almost as soon as you add anything to the route on either side it gives up on the Bremerton-Seattle ferry (second screen capture).

In this example, it routes the driver to either the Edmonds ferry far to the north, the Fauntleroy ferry to the south, or all the way around Tacoma. It completely omits both the Seattle-Bremerton ferry (which is the most direct route) and the Seattle-Bainbridge Island ferry, which would also be quicker than the listed options.

Hello @ABRP User #2711929,
Can you provide a link to the plan where this occurs? When i select Seattle-Bremerton and vice versa i can only see one ferry thats calculated into the route? Do you know how many there should be?
