I'm curious why the bay area doesn't have an ekranoplan ferry service. One could imagine longer routes like okl-mtv or okl-rwc or even okl-sjc becoming reasona

I'm curious why the bay area doesn't have an ekranoplan ferry service. One could imagine longer routes like okl-mtv or okl-rwc or even okl-sjc becoming reasonable. Would it just be a regulatory mess?
- ChrisMarshallNY 6y agoProbably because it would take a lot of work, money, and time to validate the ferries, and someone would also have to make them; which would entail its own set of regulatory hurdles. A more reasonable approach might be hovercraft ferries, like they have in Dover, UK. At least the equipment already exists.
