There's now a $0.25 "Port Surcharge" on return tickets... I always thought that BC Ferries always charge Port Surcharges on both directions on Nanaimo to Metro Vancouver routes. I don’t understand why that Port of Nanaimo charges BC Ferries passengers these fees because doesn’t BC Ferries provide there own services and own terminal properties.

Last time I went on route 30 the total was less than $20. Today the total was $20.10 both ways. I don't ever remember this fee before. I didn't even enter the terminal property.

The Nanaimo to Metro Vancouver have always had 25 cents Port Surcharge. I have read receipts from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay compared Metro Vancouver to Nanaimo which has had the Port Surcharge add to ticket this wasn’t from ferry fan point view and it was from cost saving point of view.

Maybe they just raised the price. I will check my receipts later.

Port of Vancouver doesn't charge the port fee...it's the Port of Nanaimo that does.

I think BC Ferries should work with Port of Nanaimo to get rid of fee.
