Two observations:
1) I used the Halifax Transit (and its predecessor organizations) ferry service for decades, sometimes every workday for years on end when I worked in downtown Halifax, and loved it. On the whole, I've had very, very few bad experiences with it. It's always seemed to me to be the part of the transit system that works best. The bus system? Not nearly so pleased...though thankfully I didn't have to use it much.
2) I've read that the Bedford ferry line will offer 18-minute service to downtown, with departures every 15 minutes. It will be really interesting to see how that schedule will be maintained when the ferries will have to yield - for probably as much as 5 minutes a time, or more - to the much larger vessels which frequently transit the Narrows. I assume there's a plan for that...
