My answer reflected on Paul's suggestion of introducing yet another term
(fare=*) to more closely match common vocabulary. I wouldn't recommend
merging tolls, sorry if you read it like that.

Colin Smale, this is a very wise thing to say. I think this is often a missing
element in tagging discussions.
Is there a tagging suggestion guidelines page on the wiki? If yes, this is
definitely one point that should be added. And if not, maybe we (people on the
mailing list) should create o

Only insofar as they indicate that the user has to pay. "Toll" has a
distinct meaning, in the UK at least, that it is (and needs to be)

Yep. Also, in the UK, carries legal implications. Legislation is required
to require tolls on a
public highway.

The Oxford Dictionary says
Toll : A charge payable to use a bridge or road.
Fee : A payment made to a professional person or to a professional or
public body in exchange for advice or services.
I would go with fee, keep tolls for roads + bridges.

I've just checked 3 here in Australia - 2 car & 1 foot only.
All 3 websites quote their "fares", but the 2 car ferries also make
reference to "fees"!

Also FWIW, Washington State Ferries are considered part of the state
highway system. For example:

"Fare" is more common than "toll" here (
https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/fares/) but I don't recall ever hearing
"fee" in the context of a ferry

I asked my wife (native American English speaker) how she would
describe a ferry that wasn't free. She thought of paying a fare first,
for foot ferries, but when pressed suggested that "Toll ferry" was
better than something with "fee"
Searching online, I'm finding results for both "toll ferry" and

for me a ferry is not part of the road structure. The term „toll“ applies to

Ha. They don't have a tag on them to indicate that payment is required.

I feel that toll tag is better as it is part of road structure.
For recreational cruises fee may fit better but tagging it as route=ferry is
tagging for renderer anyway.
