It would be better for those who live on the eastern half of HK island, but not necessarily for everyone else.
Doesn't matter whether there is a functioning pier or not. Had there been sufficient demand to operate a ferry route profitably, there would have been a ferry between Sai Kung to Sai Wan Ho. The fact there isn't suggests the demand is not there for such a ferry route to operate.
In any case, if you really want such a route to exist, you can simply gather a group of friends with you and charter a boat from Sai Kung to Sai Wan Ho, then problem solved.

Maybe not enough demand. Keep in mind that the ferry journey Central - Sai Kung would be a REALLY long journey too. Probably double three times the length then to Lamma or DiscoBay.
This said, a ferry would be nice at weekends, and one ferry weekdays for the rush hours too please!

Sorry, I missed the part where you said "but if I weren't driving" and couldn't edit my post when I found out.
But true, everybody does it, and I think those that get caught with a high alcohol content in their blood should have their drivers licence revoked. Forever.
well, saikung is a popular place for expats and locals, that's why some people prefer to drive to saikung to avoid this hassle for public transport or long queues for taxi ( TBH, I have been to sai kung over 30 times in past 6 years by driving, only twice I caught to bus as it takes bloody forever)
though I have been sober all those times, I generally leave my drinking to lfk and tst ( even then, I rarely do so nowadays)
alternatives, it's probably the frequent green mini buses ( the most frequent is the one to MK)
