.....should do what "by" the Albion route.
- should they set up a competing run, by the Albion route?
sorry, couldn't resist.
No, they shouldn't buy the route. Why should they, and how would this be in the public's interest? There's already an adequate service there, and also it's given HL-teen a valuable childhood experience.

Yes move all the major route ferries to that route and give Quinsam his wish: use the mill bay for all four major routes. bcf could put a charg on the new albion ferries too

Yes! One of the Albions on Mill bay-Brentwood Bay, change the dolphins on the terminals and resize the bow and stern of M.V Mill bay, Move her to relief vessel for small routes, in the summer, then move her to Denman-Hornby island for the winter.
The other Albion can be used with the Klitsa

I think they should because as other people said they could put a 1.00 charge on it to make some extra cash and then people would pay less taxes to the government cause they wouldn't be operated by them anymore.

the albion ferries would be nice to keep, but they wont. right now, the vessels dont have the capacity to handle a toll. but if you were to slice them and make them larger, then it would be all good.

Good lord, sac the mill bay, yes she is history and many stories revolve around but she is well past her time. An albion ferry would work well on that route but that route loses money so maybe not. Maybe put one on an inter gulf island thing, like from sturdies bay to long harbour to village bay and around without going to a major terminal such as swartz or tswwassen.
