Some ferry good news yesterday with the [government announcing](https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/auckland-harbour-goes-electric) funding to build two electric ferries for Auckland. \
\
Getting electric ferries is important because as noted above, ferries are currently and outsized source of emissions, contributing about 20% of all public transport emissions in Auckland. That’s much higher than their share of usage with only around 6% of all PT trips being on them.
