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!!"

There's a chance that you could get quite heated over anything that strikes you as important now, and others could be taken aback by your vehemence. There might also be a minor dust-up over a financial matter.
