Yes! Riverview at night is full of ghosts circling about in boats by the graveyard, and often dumping them in the morning so the river is littered with abandoned boats, and my own sims no longer run to the road to get in a car if they are at the graveyard but do the same as the ghosts at night and just keep getting in a taxi boat, circling back and repeating it until I tell them to 'go here' to get them to the road
For pets though it's been a bonus, I often see cats and dogs taking taxi boats across the river to get home faster
Just had my own issues in Twinbrook with the swamps and my kid tiptoeing through the water to the school bus, then the husband came home from work and was in his swim trunks, I didn't see him travel but I'm guessing he did the same at some point, there's still paths you silly sims why not use them
