It may seem that way, but unfortunately the only way of reducing unsustainable transport is to make it less convenient. Much of that involves adding time, hence water-based is best. Needless to say, I'm not in favour of ocean liners, either. Small to medium ships would be best.
Obviously, it's completely counter-intuitive in the age of hypermobility, but all motorised transport is unsustainable, whether electric or other kinds of fuel-based. The only way is reduction and abandoning our science fiction-inculcated ideas about machine travel on demand.
