Personally, from an outsiders point, I don’t think the Super Ferry has anything to do with moving the resident between Oahu, Maui, Kauai or the Big Island.
I see it only as a way to support mass development of N. Baja, San Diego, Los Angeles, Portland, Las Vegas and Seattle. I doubt the people of Eastern Hamakua, Hilo, Puna, & Kau and southern S. Kona has the slightest interest beyond a novelty.
If this was about the people and their needs, the Ferry would have docked in Hilo, the center of commerce for the island. But since it’s docking at the Oakland Shipyard, it’s for tourism development and support for the citizens’ of California, Oregon and Washington.
