Slightly more than 36,000 people and nearly 15,000 vehicles used the CAT to travel from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, during the first summer back from a three-year hiatus. Traffic overall this season was down 35% compared to three years ago. And ridership fell short of Bay Ferries' projections from earlier this year, when the company said some 41,000 people would use the service by the end of the season. US travelers accounted for some 75% of all ferry passengers.
