It's a bit harsh but I agree. The worst design flaw of the whole system. An elevated loop track should stop right at the ferry slip with an esclator down to the ferry entrance.Why would you take a bus, train , bus or walk a quarter mile , ferry, bus to work (one way) when you could just take an express bus to the city?
