02 SEPTEMBER 2010 – Behind the scenes of this busy ferry travel weekend, work has started on a review of the contract between the provincial government and BC Ferries.
Every four years the Province decides on the level of service it wants to see provided (number of sailings per route), and how much it will pay for it (transportation fee).
The Ferry Advisory Chairs (FACC) are concerned that this current contract review faces a combination of factors that could lead to double-digit fares increases or service cuts, or both.
