#BCWestcoast

2023-07-21

An attempt to book summer visits with family on the Sunshine Coast & Vancouver Island has proved once again to be more expensive, limited to specific off times (which do not even connect with our start ferry times), and frustrating as hell to book via constantly changing online options, than ever before. I say this having travelled for 3 decades along #BCโ€™s Westcoast and Vancouver Island.

This chaos is all due to the ever growing #greedy #bcferries overcharging, capitalizing and continually reaping profit through an overpriced reservation system imposed on a excess flow of riders through a reliably overtaxed and barely functional system.

I loathe the day #bcferries privatized, as itโ€™s cost countless #bcwestcoast locals their livelihood and ungodly sums of money to maintain any connection with family.

We deserve better than being upcharged $1700 dollars to guarantee 10 no wait bookings when viable options are sold out months in advance.

These same #bcferries #capitalists who continue to steal extra profit off locals and tourist alike, have even ordered isolating passengers out of their cars in a pandemic to mingle with non masked riders as per their own #corporate safety rules.

The open gloat of these disgusting, profit driven, right wing corporations living off our family relationships is at times too much to bear. I sincerely hope that we few who stand against #capitalists, can find adequate ways to hurt them back.
