Do you think people in Melbourne drive to the tram? Most city train stops don't have car parks, Londoners don't drive to the tube, they walk.Sounds good but most people can't just walk to the ferry. They have to drive.
Same problem, where to park.
The Cricket people said the same thing when promoting the growth of Bellerive Oval.
They never addressed the obvious problem of getting to & from the ferry terminals.
Also how many Ferries operate? Not many!!
Reason is as above. So they aren't a sensible option for most people, especially families & oldies.
People under the age of 60 should be able to walk 3 blocks. If you can't then you drive or get a taxi/lift.
Not being able to find a park is the most Tasmanian thing ever. Parents would rather sit in their car for 15 minutes, parked illegally, than drive 5 minutes away and walk.
