A proper port set up in Toco and Crown Point would have had an upfront cost, but paid back itself easily in maintenance and fuel costs.

Whatever happened to that toco port ? Was it canceled ?

We take for granted the rich concentration of biodiversity in that area,that's something we should not compromise no matter what..
And the 2 to 3 hr trips are perfect for those boats actually..running ph between toco and Scarborough up and down in more rotations maybe way worse, that's more suitable to water taxis/smaller vessels..

Govt subsidises that 3hr trip. The true price is about $1000, we only pay $100. If we could cut it down to 1hr with the same price, then it is less subsidy.

If that's the real cost then we are running a terribly inefficient service. Similar ferries in the Azores islands cost much less and are traveling similar distances (3 hours costing €45 or $400TT not subsided as there are competitors).
Subsidizing an island 'bridge' makes plenty of economic sense as it facilitates business plus does a social good by bringing opportunities to persons on both islands.
Having a port in Toco could be a good idea, but the trek to toco alone (even with better roads) is a turn off for many as well as an additional expense in gas and time. So it doesn't solve all the problems and the capex to get that project going not to mention the environmental cost probably isn't worth it.
Passing the buck the consumer does more harm in the long run by hurting the economy.
Long story short, it's best we subsidize the existing sea and airbridges and make it more efficient.
