• Wikilink wharf
  •  Done
• " Quincy and Hull service" --> "service to Quincy and Hull", maybe?
  •  Done
• You link the Charleston Bridge. However, this specific bridge substantially predates the bridge you're talking about and has a slightly different name. Maybe a refined section link and a piped link with the 1780s bridge's name? (the redirect for the exact old bridge name goes to a list article)
  •  Done
• "However, the grant was than the actual cost of two boats, and plans for the service stalled" - You're missing a word in this sentence
  •  Done
• " In the 1990s, expanded ferry service was proposed an alternative " - I think this should be " ... as an alternative ... "
  •  Done
• Spell out the abbreviation of dba, not everyone's going to understand that abbreviation (I had to look it up)
  •  Done
• Wikilink MassDOT.
  •  Done
• Wikilink catamarans
  •  Done

• Looks like system links needs a citation unless I missed something
  •  Done (Assuming you meant length)
• The number of terminals needs one, too it looks like - I incidentally found that information in the "MBTA STATE OF THE SERVICE: Water Transportation" source, so you can just cite it to there
  •  Done
• Citation(s) needed for the first paragraph of the Inner Ferry Harbor section
  •  Done
• Citation(s) needed for the first two paragraphs of the South Shore section
  •  Done
• Citation(s) needed for the Winthrop Ferry paragraph in the North Shore section
  •  Done
• "it too was largely out-competed by the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad for the commuter market." - The name of the railroad isn't mentioned in the source
  • No, but it was the only railroad that ran to Winthrop.
• Not finding the 0.3% figure in the source cited
  •  Done Added a citation to the original source of ridership numbers; the 0.3% is from a simple division, allowed by WP:CALC.

• Maybe give the years these fees were/are current as of? Things such as this change frequently (stupid inflation)
  • I've cited all the MBTA fares to the tariff, which includes the date they took effect.
