There are IMO two big problems with commuting by boat. One is the price.
I wish it would all be travelcard-related. The other is the stoppins at
each stop time, especially in bad weather. It takes quite a while to get
one of these boats properly moored up. I don't have a solution for that
- but I suppose people have been thinking about that for 10,000 years.
