Ferries are notorious for losing money. I don't think anyone in their right minds would invest in that venture unless they need a huge tax write off. I can see the bridges' becoming upset at the idea. The area bridges will start a negative ad campaign the first one will read something like this "Take the bridge, it's faster and free!!"

Daily Horoscope for January 1

Cancer

Happy New Year, Cancer! Are you ready to put those resolutions into place? Not quite?! Crustaceans are never quite sure just how much they can get away with and where to draw the line. You have a flair for the dramatic and when you're the narrator, your exploits become deeds that would make a knight proud. Your fans know you're a hero, whatever history might prove. Audacity impresses most people but if you go to far you could cause offence.
