Light Load


Forever the bus to Nanaimo drove on to the ferry and took passengers right to the bus station.
Now I gather passengers are dropped at Horseshoe Bay and met by a bus on the other side.
Apparently it cost almost $800 to take a bus on the ferry and it's no longer feasible as a business model.
Typical of B.C Ferries it acts as if it doesn't have any competition.
 Because it doesn't have any competition.

It sure makes us think how much luggage to lug around with all these transfers. It would be easier to take the small planes to Vancouver and back.

The last time I came back from Victoria I flew and I'd do it again. I like the ferry ride, it's getting to and from the ferries that I don't like. :-)

Yes, but BC and Washington have a unique and large ferry system, getting people where they need to go across the waters. We took the Nanaimo ferry once.

Might just as well take public transit to the ferry terminal and into the city as it's cheaper and just as inconvenient.
