I was reading my local news site when I came across an article about the declining ferry ridership. Then I noticed this:
Ray Deardorf, planning director for the ferry system, said the state expects ridership to grow to 28.3 million in 2026, a forecast based on economic and population projections.
Seriously? You just made a prediction 16 years in the future that’s dependent at least in part on technological considerations? For all you know we’ll have electric-powered hover-ferries by then. By your logic we should be overflowing with horse carriages by now.
