Vancouver has been so slow and lacking in having a proper regional ferry service. Just like there isn't a series of regional rapid bus bridges.

How can a city have such a multigenerational problem with providing proper big city transportation infrastructure? If its not part of a conscious agenda through the decades, then its like there is something like a Vancouver Mind Virus (VMV) which prevents the city from thinking and building on a big scale.
Fortunately, nothing like a VMV even made it from backwards BC to NSW.
