A commuter's travel mishap has gone viral after women boarded the River Thames ferry mistaking it for a bridge.
TikTok user Sophie Montague posted the now viral video after she was convinced she was driving on the bridge, only to discover it was a ferry.
Confused why so many cars were stationary around her, Montague quickly released she had boarded the ferry to Woolwich.
Luckily, Montague didn't have to pay for the five-minute service with the free ferry providing transport for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles.
