It wants to solve today's and tomorrow's problems with government's help
Imagine a future where BC Ferries runs a speedy little passenger service between downtown Vancouver and Victoria, letting you catch a concert, hockey game or quick vacation, hassle-free. Where its terminals have no line-ups, its fleet has no emissions, its ships run on time, and people with bikes and pets aren’t forced to huddle outside under the terminal pylons in the cold rain.
“These are just a few of the future-focused questions that we're considering. We don't all have all the answers right now and we will be engaging British Columbians to help us take part in this conversation.” “While there have been some service challenges, we acknowledge, the real story is the surge in the demand for fiscal service,” said BC Ferries board chair Joy MacPhail, attempting to apply some spin to the narrative on behalf of the corporation.
The sheer volume of people using a ferry system designed and built decades ago, for half that capacity, is a big part of the problem. “We've advanced as you know, a $5.2 billion capital plan and that capital plan will be informed in part by the visioning process that we will take but also by the very real needs of the business that we have today,” he said.
