In my opinion, a reservations program just wouldn't work, at least not for a $2.25 ticket. People would just make a bunch of them figuring that it won't cost them anything much to not show up. It would take the ferry personnel an extra 30 minutes or more to sort it all out. The way it is now, there's little fuss or muss for the ferry personnel and boarding actually goes quite smoothly (in a cattle-like way).
A reservation sytem works for airplanes because there is a minimum $100 change fee if you don't show up that day.
In any case, the safest thing to do is to avoid weekends and a holidays. Even those often work out fine, but if you can travel midweek you can pretty much relax, especially if you get there at least an hour early and stake out a spot near the gate.
