How Google Maps offers me an alternate route that is longer, slower, eats more fuel, and has tolls on it for some reason

One time I was making my way home, about a 4 hour drive, and set it in google maps. I had forgot to turn off tolls,and started driving. It was a real surprise when I ended up at a ferry to cross Lake Michigan. I dont think they took cars, and it was 11pm anyway so they were closed. Thanks google! Idk how thats supposed to help when the ferry is scheduled for every couple hours. Who would even want that option? It didnt save any time unless you could hop on a ferry as soon as you got there.
"No ferries" is a separate checkbox
No, it counted the ferry as a toll. Turning off tolls corrected the issue.
