Not to mention they're the only ships that can cross the heads when the weather is shit. The maintenance costs are nothing more than an excuse. I wonder who Transdev are paying off... you need ships for that job. Not modified foreign-built catamarans.

Any time I have had visitors from interstate or overseas, it is the number one activity I recommend they do whilst in Sydney. I also work as a tour guide, and the very top of the list of what I advise tourists do in Sydney is to ride the Manly ferry. The destination is not important, it is the journey that counts. If the historic ferries are no longer there, I would have zero interest in a trip to Manly and I would not recommend it to any visitors, as the fast ferries are merely boring commuter vessels and Manly itself is not worth the effort to go to on its own. It is the journey and experience of travelling on these beatiful old vessels that counts. This heritage can not be stripped away from us. This is a much-loved, classic attraction in Sydney for locals and visitors alike, and we need to preserve this heritage, not sink it in the name of progress and faster commuter times. Sydney needs to start valuing our history and heritage.

The relaxing pace of the trip to Manly passing the Opera House is one of the best value ferry tickets in the world and the old Frehwater Class vessel is an integral and iconic component of the journey known and loved by Sydneysiders and visitors alike. I'm incredulous that any government could consider scoring such an own goal as to scrap the faithful old ferry.

Living in Sydney during my early 20s I spent many weekends taking the ferry, just for the pure joy of travelling across the heads and feeling the roll of the ocean. You certainly don’t get that on a catamaran. These ferries scream ‘Sydney’. It would be a crime to lose them.
