Two simulation commuters, Mrs. Longo and the veteran engineer, Tomo Masayama, traipse around the city during the morning rush hour on a ferry that made it to Istanbul to check on their cars in the city’s main thoroughfares, where they waited in line for the right seat and another seat at the kiosk.

The ferry operators tried to navigate the day’s ethereal traffic with the help of a computer, but the passengers could not catch a glimpse of the shiny metal, and the ferrywoman, a local TV reporter, threw a microphone in the air and charged the man.

She said the driver’s feet were badly bruised but riders could have resorted to covering them with latex gloves and tips, and for safety, a rubber cover with rubber bullets had been gifted to them. She sent a reporter to inspect the passengers’ wrists, but a passerby who bumped the man’s feet caused his B-12s to explode, causing him to fly into a pole.

“This is terrible. It’s like yesterday,” Ms. Longo said. “It’s a miracle that the rider survived by this point. I’m worried because I’m a pilot and I’m worried about customers.”

Ms. Longo took him to hospital in the city’s Kausan and signed an agreement to cover all passengers on the Sea of Cortez ferry, gradually reducing the cost but limiting the number of passengers.

“We really do not have the time to help with the passengers, especially from the sea,” Ms. Longo said. “If we’re going to do this, we’ve got to be more responsible.”

A spokeswoman for Denmark’s Ministry of Science and Industry, who is leading the campaign for the ferry, said she was asking the Port Authority to give it time to find a contractor and to set up a national safe harbor for passengers. The port is running out of money and transportation is expensive, she added.

Mrs. Longo said she had come to Istanbul expecting some very unusual things, like a sense of adventure, and that if she made it through the day without an inconvenience, she would still have time to catch up.

“There isn’t any doubt that the passengers have had a wonderful day,” she said, calling on the local media to focus attention on the ferry.
