To gain support to reinstate the Fremantle to Perth daily ferry service (including return).
You may or may not be aware that a 2 week trial was conducted in October 2007. The operator decided to discontinue the venture as it was running at a loss (not enough people). We believe this service could be successful if it was advertised correctly. This petition\'s aim is to identify if Fremantle (and surrounding suburbs) residents would consider using the ferry service.
You have to admit that travelling by ferry to and from work would be far more enjoyable than competing with peak hour traffic.
Jump on Board!
I was stuck in that miserable crawl of traffic on the Stirling Highway again this morning and honestly it just makes me want to scream because imagine how nice it would be to just be on the water instead. I keep reading the comments you all are leaving about the commute which honestly makes me feel less crazy since I know I am not the only one sick of this daily grind.

I honestly never thought this would gain so much traction but now my inbox is just exploding with people who also think the ferry is better than sitting in traffic (seriously who likes peak hour) and it feels like people are finally listening.

Need this back on the river. Traffic is getting way too heavy for the roads we have. Good idea.

PLEASE bring this back. commuting by train is a nightmare and the bus is just as bad. i would use the ferry every day if it was reliable.

Stuck on the Kwinana freeway every single morning and honestly its enough to drive a person crazy. Would love to just sit on a boat with a coffee instead of dealing with road rage.
