Ferries aren't perfect, though. They are a relatively pollution-heavy form of travel due to the specs on marine engines. Maybe the EPA can kick in on pollution controls...

This would be a game changer for the Riverfront!
Wasn't that mostly a pipe dream anyways? And then 9/11 happened also. With this news about a ferry, it seems like the "9/11 hypersecurity" mantra is slowing down, perhaps? I mean, we might get a new bridge and this ferry.
Depends on the ferry. Smaller, slower ferries [[~100 people) only use a few gallons of diesel per hour of running time - very efficient on a per-passenger basis. The larger, high speed ferries are much less efficient. I don't think you'd need to carry more than 100, though, and the slowest ferry could probably make the crossing in around ten minutes.
Thanks for the clarification, JBMcB.Depends on the ferry. Smaller, slower ferries [[~100 people) only use a few gallons of diesel per hour of running time - very efficient on a per-passenger basis.
