Where we use the term "waterbus" rather than "ferry" it is because the former conveys an important maritime concept best explained by looking at the City of Brisbane in Queensland which happens to be situated on either side of the Brisbane River (not to be confused with the Brisbane Water in New South Wales). Ferries initially travelled cross-river until it became evident there was more value to offer commuters by travelling both upriver and down-river in the process, leading to the formation of a "maritime highway".
Given our preliminary observation that more than 75% of weekday peak hour congestion along Brisbane Water Drive is single passenger vehicular traffic, the considered option of an affordable domestic waterbus route supported by local bus routes is anticipated to be a welcome relief for both daily commuters and local businesses alike.
