Maloney asks about transit deserts and ground connections

Do you consider whether or not a location is in a transit desert, if there are alternate options like access to the subway?

And then how do you think about ground transit to match with ferry routes?

Absolutely.

I think that, you know,

Transit deserts are real.

Not every place has a subway that goes right to it.

And we think that that's an important thing to be thinking about.

If places don't have great transit, is ferry a good alternative?

Well, sometimes it is if there's a straight shot over the

water and all the conditions we talked about mean that you can take a ferry much faster than you might be able to take a subway or the bus to the subway, that's an important consideration.

Alternatively, even if an area doesn't have great access to transit, sometimes a ferry is not necessarily faster, and we also want to be thoughtful about those pieces.

In terms of ground transportation, everywhere that we've built ferry landings or have ferry landings, we've worked with MTA to extend bus routes, mainly is probably the main way that we try to better connect, just to create some of that area that people can go to.

But what we often find is that the area we want to put a ferry in, which doesn't have a bus line nearby or a subway, people are willing to go to it because of that, and that's what we're trying to solve for.
