[Talk-ca] Seasonal ferry routes

[Harald Kliems]

Hi Bernie,

I believe I looked into this a while ago and came to the conclusion that no
routing engine currently supports conditional access. It's possible that
this has changed in the meantime. But as there is an approved proposal you
should go ahead and add the proper tags, maybe in addition to a short human
readable "note=only runs June to September".
I'd say that if you're in Eastern Canada and your route includes a ferry
you should be prudent enough to check for yourself if it's running all-year.

Harald.
