Ferries work best when a strong connection between two water access points exists or land based crossings are difficult/prohibitive to build. They must also be able to connect to strong surface transit systems in case the riders ultimate destinations are not directly at the ferry landing. Ultimately, ferries may be part of regional transportation solutions.
