The LIC ferry would be an excellent transfer point if MTA utilized the Long Island City LIRR station more often.
I suggested to someone that finding some way to add light rail or some sort of transit along the LIRR between Jamaica and LIC would be a great asset to Central Queens neighborhoods. It would connect Jamaica, Richmond Hill, Glendale, Ridgewood and Maspeth, the latter three of which are badly underserved by public transit, directly to the ferry. The station is literally across the street, a lot closer than the 7 train is.

Ferry Days on the East RiverLooks like they are moving a little further north than its current location? If so, that would be sweet!
