CAMDEN — The Delaware River Port Authority is considering doing away with a ferry that connects the waterfronts in Camden and Philadelphia.

The ferry runs during the summer and is used mostly by people visiting attractions like the Susquehanna Bank Center concert venue, the Campbell's Field minor-league baseball stadium and the Adventure Aquarium. This year, it had about 160,000 passengers.

A private operator pays the DRPA about $58,000 to run the service.

The Courier-Post of Cherry Hill and The Philadelphia Inquirer are reporting some DRPA commissioners are questioning spending $1.2 million to pay for upgraded ferry docks.

The future of the service could be decided Wednesday, when the commission is to approve its budget.
