Totally changing the topic, but who owns the new ferries? BCFS or the tax payers?

This picture gives a way better idea of what the Super C Class are gonna look like. But it's still the same pic BCF has on their site, but this one is way bigger and you can easily tell where everything is gonna be. I thought the very top floor was going to be more inside sitting space, but it's going to be solariums at the front and back at the ends. That is cool. Anyways you guys can find the rest for yourself, but I just thought I would point that out. www.pbase.com/kstapleton/image/43959408

What's nice is that it's going to have 2 full passenger decks.

The sketch really cuts off the stern. I think the real boats will be more solarium than anything. The perspective is way off also. It looks like all the food service would be on the lower passenger deck also.
Is there a website for the shipbuilders?

I'd like to see the amentities that they fit onto the Super C's. maybe they'll have a buffet on them.

I'll pretty much guarantee that there will be userpay premium facilities like the buffet and the pay lounge like on the Spirits. How bout paying $4.00 to go outside and smoke on the sundeck? Anyone who wants to smoke for free can do so on the shady and windy lower deck. In the winter when it's wet and cold the sheltered deck will be the user pay deck and the cold, wet sundeck will be the free one.
Give it a couple years and we'll have 1st Class and Steerage.

I say were overdue on new ships the V-Class are getting old and the Tsawwassen is due to retire so we need nice new ships

Post by NMcKay on Jun 7, 2005 19:06:11 GMT -8
I think we could even do with 2 new spirit class.
|

Post by Balfour on Jun 7, 2005 19:18:22 GMT -8
Yeah, run 4 Spirits on route 1 and 3 Super C's + 1 C on Route 2, and 2 C's on Route 3. Retire the New West, and run a another C on route 30 alongside the Alberni, but only if they decide to build 2 more Spirits.

Say if BCF was still public what do you think would be being built?

Post by Balfour on Jun 7, 2005 19:50:18 GMT -8
Nothing

Post by Curtis on Jun 7, 2005 19:58:58 GMT -8
Well I think that the new intermidiate vessel would still be a go but if the Super C Class weren't gonna be built the V Class would probably still be here till they sunk
