I have a feeling that the BC Liberals are going to get the same treatment as Harper's Conservatives did, last Fall. My one concern is the lack of a third "big" party in the race, effectively making it a Liberal-versus-NDP battle. But who knows, Andrew Weaver is pretty good, he might win some seats, as well. But hopefully that doesn't split the vote for change.
They're really blowing smoke on the last sentence of that article. New 3 billion dollar, underused bridges and "fiscal house in order???"

Not time for another fare hike, except for the major routes: - Did you know there is an election in May?
Expect fare increases in April 2018.

As I've pointed out here before, note what is missing from the above statement. Revenue. So many organizations spend so much time fretting about costs, while not driving revenue growth. I've worked at private companies that spent every waking hour worrying about cost containment, while spending zero time thinking about revenue growth and the strategies required to do that. I've written here about some of the things BCF could do to drive revenue growth (peak pricing to induce demand shifting to lower utilization sailings, etc, etc). We're starting to hear a few rumbles from BCF about doing some of those things but not much concrete.

Some fare relief to come soon: LINK HERE-------------- In other news, the arms-length private company concept of BC Ferries is still a sham.
