Hey, I created a BC Ferries status page for the major routes and am taking thoughts or suggestions on the content. The primary purpose is to show the next available sailing, how long until departure, and how long until arrival. patbaywebcam.com/ferries.phpI'm a data analysis tinkerer and just couldn't resist making it.  Yes I know there are other sources for this data, but this one is mine, and it fits my interests.  Couldn't figure out which forum board was most appropriate so this thread can be moved if needed. tak |

You might want to check your link. It is just bringing up this post again. I did manually enter the link, and do like what I see! Thanks! Link fixed above and here it is again - patbaywebcam.com/ferries.php - that'll learn me to post and run out the door. What you see now is the 'as it is' view of the daily sailings at the major terminals. Next up I'll start using the collected data in a stats table. |

when i read your post, i was thinking you were some fanboy extending to something already done. i had really low expectations... and im embarrassed to admit that now.
wowoowoowow. that is really whiz-bang stuff you put together there! it reminds me a lot of the way the website was before all this bloat and wasted space and unnecessary clicking. really impressive work there! im really looking forward to seeing what improvements you will translate from your thoughts onto code.
can i bookmark on my mobile and share with friends?

Working on Bowen Island today. The 11:15 was late as usual. Horseshoe Bay was so quiet compared to other long weekends, but it looks like people are going to Tsawwassen, hence the complaining of the lack of parking that saw on social media. The holding area in front of the ticket booths were empty, and the overhead signs were flashing possible wait for Nanaimo. Coming back, got in line around 4pm, and no sailing wait.
