In December 2020 Captain Cook Cruises, the operator of the Lane Cove River ferry service, announced that it would terminate the service on the 18th December 2020, due to the economic unviability of the service.  In the same month, Transport for NSW confirmed the subsidy to operate the service would be extended into 2021.  Transport for NSW has announced it will explore options for long term ferry operations of the Lane Cove service in 2021.

The population in Lane Cove West around Burns Bay has increased substantially in the last decade.   The extension of the Lane Cove River ferry service into Burns Bay may:

1. Help make the service accessible to additional passengers to use the service.
2. Help the economic viability of continuing the Lane Cove River ferry service.
3. Provide residents of Burns Bay and surrounds another option for public transport to travel to North Sydney and the Sydney CBD.

I would like to know your thoughts on this idea?
