Having these ferries would give people more options. And we all know that more options usually leads to less stress, when speaking about transit. The less stress people see involved with a commute, the more likely they are to travel.

Most of the time the actual trip across the water is probably the easiest part of the drive, especially if you go on the Causeway. It's the US 98's and 90's, and their 20 million traffic lights that slow things down. Aint no ferry out yet that's gonna change that.
The ferry will, however, be a of great use for weekend warriors, vacationers, and random sightseers.
