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.

That story links to a slide deck with a breakdown of the numbers. It's worth taking a look at to see where the money is being spent.

Approved re-zoning applications paves way for more family homes in Nanaimo in c/nanaimo

I read it as a condition of the approval that they’ll pay if they actually end up building.

Sailings cancelled for a 2nd day on new Vancouver-Nanaimo ferry service in c/nanaimo

First impressions are tough to beat. Personally I’m disappointed but not giving up. They have a long way to go before frustrating people the way BC Ferries does.

Sure, of course. But it’s an unlucky start and I’m hoping they succeed.

Pretty disappointing. I was hoping to use them this week instead of Harbour Air.

[–] zim 6 points 2 years ago

The biggest advantage for me is the time savings on a day trip to Vancouver. It drops off near the waterfront station so I can avoid the vehicle fee and traffic. And hopefully there won't be issues with cancelled sailings.
