And there are also environmental concerns. It would be impractical, Connolly says, to turn the clock back 100 years, and start dredging parts of the bay -- some of which are now wetlands and trails -- where old terminals used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planners at the Water Emergency Transportation Authority created \u003ca href=\"http://sanfranciscobayferry.com/node/430\" target=\"_blank\">a draft strategic plan\u003c/a> that outlines a 20-year vision for ferry service in the Bay Area.

But Connolly says the agency is working to make the system more affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking ahead, Connolly says the idea for future ferry service is that eventually you'll be able to catch a ferry every 15 minutes without having to consult a schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's hard to say when that day might be.
