To mitigate the impact of the increases, BC Ferries is offering a 30 per cent discount on saver fares, encouraging passengers to book ahead and travel during off-peak times. This includes early morning, late evening and midday sailings during the week.

Foot passengers can also take advantage of saver fares for $15 when booking in advance on routes between Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island.

There should be a discounted rate for island residents and atleast 25% reserved space for residents. Our taxes pay for this shit and its essential travel. We can't even get to and from our home without beating thru a crowd of tourists.

Ditto for us in the sunshine coast.

I always thought so, expensive enough to live there without the huge price of trying to travel. Though I lived there for awhile so many be biased.
