Dear editor,
I just looked at the ferry schedule for Tsawwassen to Duke Point and I cannot believe how stupid (cannot find any other word to say) what I think.
Saturday, when the people of the province (families) can go to Vancouver to a show or to visit, the last boat is so early — 3 or so.
Who is the dummy that made up this schedule and what is the reason behind it?
Please do not tell me it is money, or cutbacks. This is out of the Dark Ages and something you might have seen over 40 years ago.
Today, people travel, and guess what — some have families that live just over the water in that faraway place called Vancouver.
I do not believe that BC Ferries is very family-oriented. It sounds like it is being run by a miser dictator.
What about the commercial trucks — some have to work on the weekend. Oh, I am beside myself with frustration, cannot go and visit my family in Delta unless I want to make it a two-day event.
As a senior in this province I am going to do all I can to get the service back to reality.
Oh, by the way, the ferry is supposed to be part of the highway system.
If you got rid of the travel offers that include hotel, free meals and assured boarding, maybe they could run a vessel for the ordinary people. All in all — what a shame this is happening. I cannot believe it.
Lorraine Hiebert,
