I had a privilege of travelling to Vancouver, Canada, where they use the Sea Bus. A Sea Bus is just like the ferry only that it does not carry vehicles. It is a decent vehicle that is cheaper than the big ferries and a lot of iron among other things that we see at the ferry. We are asking the Government to get committed to have a five year strategic plan to revamp ferry transport."}
