Fare cuts in spring may bring 5% rise in B.C. ferry rides

B.C. Ferries expects to see its ridership increase by up to five per cent once the provincial government cuts fares on minor routes and restores the full seniors’ weekday discount in the spring, says Transportation Minister Claire Trevena.
Trevena told the legislature that the ferry corporation has been using forecasting models to predict the impact of fare reductions on traffic volumes.
“They’re obviously very conscious of this because this is their business,” she said.
