BC Ferries to cut service on some key routes

BC Ferries says that due to a significant reduction in traffic over the last few months, the company is planning a number of actions this fall to reduce overall operating costs.

The runs to be affected by this initiative are Swartz Bay - Tsawwassen, Departure Bay - Horseshoe Bay, and Langdale -Horseshoe Bay.

The company said this action is being taken to better match FC Ferries' service levels with the reduction in traffic.

Following the Thanksgiving long weekend, BC Ferries said it will eliminate a limited number of off-peak sailings on it major routes.

It said the sailings affected are traditionally the least busy sailings and the overall reduction in sailings represent approximately one per cent of the sailings on major routes.
