Just curious I dont know if I have asked this before in a poll but how many times a year would you say you travel on the ferries. Based on roundtrips and any ferry route. I consider 1 roundtrip one trip. Last year for example I was between 10 and 15 trips. Lets see how many people if any pick the last one!

By the way this is for trips up until today and if you know of more trips you will be taking from now till the end of the year you can add those one too. If you guys can remember all the trips you took this year!  |

In summer of 03 i was going back and forth on the HSB-DPB every 2 days to move from the island to the mainland. I sure had my fair share of the Cow and Coq that summer ;D

Also for the last one you would have to be on ferries frequently like... 6 trips a month. A real money waster.

Well yeah for most people. But Harbourlynx Kid isn't your father the CEO of the company that runs the Harbourlynx? So you must get on for free or a discount or somthing.

re the "100 trips on Harbourlynx" by the Kid: t's not expensive at all, if your Dad's the GM of the company. So, HL-kid, please put to rest any possible rumours of financial scandal, and tell us how the "100 trips on Harbourlynx" were paid for. Was it just a ride tagging along, were you working, or were you using the ferry to actually travel to Vancouver-Nanaimo for a purpose? If you were travelling for a purpose, did you pay for the trips? Is it written into the GM's contract, that his son can travel 100 times in 1 summer for free? Do the fare costs of these trips come out of the GM's salary? Of course, a private company can do whatever it wants. So who are the investors in the company, and how do they feel about the lost revenue from your free trips? I hope you're planning on sending the shareholders christmas cards..... Inquiring minds want to know.... If you weren't travelling for free, but were actually working on-board, as a job.....then ignore the above questions. Instead, we would then focus on the topic of "nepotism". Someone should tell this to Carole James.....I'm sure she'd be all over this "scandal"....  |

I paid for half of the Trips Myself. and then My Father Paid for the Other Half. None of these trips were free. I guarantee you that. They were all paid for. i never like to get ANYTHING for free. It cost me alot if you think about it. 45.00 x 100 = 4500$ / 2 =2250$. thats how much i paid. Considering that price. it is crazy. I dont have a recipt to show you. but i dont think it was 100. But...i was travelling close to 2 RT(Round Trips) a week from May through to September. while i wasn't working.
