This is a tough one for me... I really don't know. besides BCF I travel on the Seabus the most, so I'll go with the Seabus.

I thought the Newcastle Island ferry was cool, there's one that is like a tugboat but just had a passenger area added on to it.

I'm going with the Albion Ferries. I live a short five minute drive from them so it's VERY easy access. Plus, I've never been on any of those. *PS: the Aquabus is very ugly! *

Not Realy, I think they are cute little things, especially a joke about one going over Georgia Straight to Nanaimo in BCF Livery. ;D

yes, those little aqua busses are kinda cute. We have them in inner harbour here in Victoria too. Except they arent called the Aqua bus, they are called the Victoria Harbour Ferries. I have actually been on them before.

The "Rainbow Hunter":
Truly the most psychadelic name to ever grace a ferry.
"DUDES! Pay attention, man. We're huntin' the rainbow... It's like... we're on the ocean... and the rainbow is talking to me! What's that, Rainbow? You want me to... DUDE! WHERE ARE THE CHIPS?! IF WE'RE GOIN' TO GET THE RAINBOW DUDES, WE NEED FOOD!... ... Man, d'you think there's like... a pot full of hershey bars at the end of that rainbow? Whaddya... hehe, I said pot! C'mere, gimme another drag on that thing... *coughs* Okay, okay... okay... Seriousy guys, we need a name for this ol' girl... heeeeeheeeheeheheehe!!!!!!!! What about what about what about... RAINBOW HUNTER!"
Author's note: Some serious artistic license was taken in the portrayal of the naming staff at Aquabus. All in fun. Ah... anonymity is a beautiful thing.

Harbourlynx - do you have a fan base - database set up yet and if not - then why ?
Get your web site sorted out - I think Harry's sister is looking for a free ticket and a trip to the bridge......

Harbourlynx Kid: how big is the bridge on the Harbourlynx? Looks pretty small, as small as the Albion Ferry bridges.

Harbourlynx looks quite cool, anyone in Vancouver noticed that cruise ships have started to come in?
|
|

Post by Balfour on May 10, 2005 21:19:36 GMT -8
Oh yeah, they come in and out from late April until mid-october. Quote from the Grouse Mountain Skyride Speech "approximately 1 million passengers pass through the Cruise ship terminal every year" .

Post by NMcKay on May 10, 2005 22:04:36 GMT -8
