By the time such a line is built, the signal system should be far more capable. 2) It also does not factor in the time it takes to walk from your office to the subway, or from the ferry to the train, or from the train to another bus, and from the other bus to your home. That misses the point as it is not part of the relevant comparison between the ferry and a potential subway. Most commuters who take the ferry then take the subway. That additional time is part of their commute, and it will be factored in to any commuters decision about which transportation option will be chosen. |
