[sustran] Re: Urban water transport

[Roland Sapsford]

Auckland New Zealand has a relatively comprehensive ferry system - but I 
have seen little evaluation of the kind you seek published on the web. 
It all tends to be bundled together as public transport, together with 
rail and bus.  You could have a look at www.arta.govt.nz - which is the 
public transport planning agency for Auckland - emails to key people may 
generate more info than a web search alone.
