Thread: Cook Strait Ferry

A fast cat from Lyttleton-Wellington would be awesome. Freight and rail etc could still go on the Picton route but let's face it most the people crossing with a vehicle are headed somewhere south of chch anyhow. Been on the Buquebus HSC Francisco from Buenos Aires to Montevideo and back a few times and it's a great service smashes out 270kms between BA and MV in less time than it takes the interislander to go from Wellington to Picton, its also pretty impressive stepping outside and nearly getting blown over because you're doing 100 clicks on a massive ship carry cars and people and restaurants and shops all sorts of stuff!
