It isn't. Riding the ferry is a pain in the ass. Boats are slow (or it is too much of a nuisance). High traffic makes it even slower.

Just get one of those old Soviet meteors from some Eastern European junkyard. Not slow, great ferry.

Montréal fixed slow ferries a while back. You're definitely beating traffic on one of these and they essentially aren't bothering anyone zooming across an already turbulent river commercial Harbour.

But it's boat traffic. You can literally stare at the bobbing water until the waterways clear

Until, some time within the first two weeks, the novelty wears off, and commuting on a boat becomes subjectively indistinguishable from commuting on a particularly slow bus.

Having commuted by ferry I have to say it's still more comfortable than commuting by bus and it's about equally fast/slow here and you can take a bicycle on the ferry during rush hour.
