I would argue that DT Vancouver is the easiest single destination to get to from anywhere in Metro Vancouver. Therefore it makes the most sense to have DT Vancouver near Waterfront the terminal. I really do think BC Ferries could operate such an endeavor profitably. A higher speed ferry (perhaps hovercraft) would be required to make transit times as short as possible.

Yes, there is the other aspect which is speed improvements given the ferry isn't carrying so many vehicles. Catamarans are so much faster than the BC Ferries boats.
