Tags: U.S. news, Florida, Miami, Boating MIAMI – A man was killed early Sunday and cruise line arrivals were disrupted after a 30-foot (9-meter) boat hit a ferry near Miami, authorities said.

Miami Beach officials hope the service will help reduce traffic on the MacArthur Causeway from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., every day. In August, one-way fare tickets are $5 for Miami Beach residents.

Miami Beach stopped funding the ferry in September, about two months after it first set sail. Now, Mark Benson is saying he is still owed about $650, for the 43 hours he said he worked in August.
