VICTORIA — The British Columbia government is planning to penalize BC Ferries when it cancels"core-service" sailings due to staffing shortages after a summer of travel chaos for passengers.
Transportation Minister Rob Fleming says he knows last summer was frustrating for travellers and a challenge for BC Ferries due to staffing and mechanical issues. It says the sailings on 13 minor routes were previously designated as discretionary, and the change will improve service for smaller, ferry-dependent communities.
The province is also providing $500 million to help mitigate fare increases, saying BC Ferries has confirmed annual increases of 3.2 per cent over the next four years.
