While the timetable might not be too helpful to the passenger numbers, I feel the real reason for the decline in foot passengers is Low cost airlines. There are many ferry routes or ferry operators who donīt even bother to take foot passengers. A new timetable if it is to be successful should primarily target local commuters, I think applying the if you build it and they will come philosophy to ferry connections would doom the route to failure. Numbers may have been heavy during the ash cloud but public services should not be run on the basis of just in case.
