The LA resident is promoting the unusual idea of using ferries to cut down on traffic congestion in the city, and not just from Redondo Beach. KPCC, a media affiliate of NBC4, reported that Bailey said:
"I was just thinking, maybe we could use the old piers that we had: Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, [Malibu], and provide some sort of ferry service so it would be a strong alternative to the road system that we have."
Los Angeles has recently been given the dubious honor of being labeled the world’s most traffic-congested city, according to INRIX a transportation analytics company. Working out the details, both logistical and financial, followed by the creation of a comprehensive report could benefit all cities involved. Printing services are adept at presenting this type of information in printed form.
Jim Moore, a professor of civil engineering at USC, sees the idea of using ferries as a viable option.
Bailey estimates that the time it takes to Santa Monic to Manhattan Beach, for instance could be reduced by over 50%. However, although implementing a ferry service would be a quick solution and could carry a high volume of travelers, it might not save as much time as one might think due to time spent during docking.
