Ferry fares are set to increase April 1 and the president and CEO of BC Ferries is already grumbling about it.
Mark Collins says the 2.3 per cent increase to fares will make it “challenging” to pay to replace aging vessels, upgrade technology and improve service.
In the fall, the British Columbia Ferries Commissioner approved an average annual rate increase from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2024.
