BC Ferries has changed their Fares webpage, and condensed all of the routes together in one big PDF file. This is pretty inconvenient if you ask me. www.bcferries.com/fares/However the schedules still remain in their usual form.

Anyone notice any major differences? I've been looking around it for a few minutes and can't even find a minor change.

Just looking at The site now. The only changes I can see, are the "Plan your trip" box, as well as the "Check in Center"

I didn't see a check-in center though.... unless you mean 'Sign in Center'. Yeah, that seems new. Maybe they're not putting in the 'major' update 'til later? EDIT: I see that the Sign in Centre isn't really a 'NEW' feature either. It's just a reorganized view....

My apologies if this is already posted elsewhere (if so, mods please delete), but I noticed a recently added section to the website. They have posted the traffic counts for May & June 2010. Seems in the past, these weren't all that readily available. They show some interesting data. www.bcferries.com/about/traffic.html

It was running briefly, and now it's experiencing yet more "technical difficulites with website." Anybody know any possible reasons?

Not sure if this is new, or just expanded, but BC Ferries now has a full online Passages Gift Shop: Heres the link: giftshop.bcferries.com/

I believe that's been up and operating since May or June. I've noticed a few products that aren't sold online that ARE sold on-board the ships, mostly just books.

Anyone planning on using the BCF travel and reservations center in the middle of the night tonight better do so earlier. It's closing down for the night until about 01:00 tomorrow. (Pacific Standard Time) From BC Ferries home page: www.bcferries.com/

I don't believe this would be considered a double-post? I just found a fairly AWESOME section of BCF's website. It may have been discussed previously, but I haven't ever heard of it here yet. www.bcferries.com/about/land_leases.htmlIt doesn't look very exciting, but when you open up one of the PDF files, go to page 37 of each file, and you get a chart of the ferry terminal that you selected. It's really neat. Some of the drawings are a little vague, Tsawwassen Terminal being an example of that, but some are pretty detailed too, one of those being Alert Bay. I've spent awhile looking through those documents now. I'm not sure if it's page 37 on all of them, but on all that I've seen it is. Some of the terminals have more than one drawing, the second usually being one of the last pages of the document. EDIT: and here's another neat thing: www.bcferries.com/about/Company_Video.htmlI haven't watched the two videos yet, so don't spoil them. I'm not expecting too much out of them, but they'll be fun to watch.

BCF's website is down right now. When I tried to navigate to it, a message came up that looked just like this, with formatting and all:
No Response from Application Web Server There was no response from the application web server for the page you requested. Please notify the site's webmaster and try your request again later.
Just like that.

Yeah, it's online for me too now. Maybe just a server overload or something.

Today I received the last 41 News Releases BC Ferries issued in my inbox. In fact, I believe this is every release from the calendar year. Did that happen to anyone else today (or anytime)?
