Fascinating that the cost of the boats themselves is well under half the total cost of the project, I didn't realise this was such an expensive project.

The infrastructure will still be there long after the ferries have been replaced, of course.

I'd like to see the actual numbers, it sounds like it's a lot more than inflation would justify.
