BC Ferries & the Sunshine Coast: **Prices subject to change without notice**

RE: **Prices subject to change without notice** - BC Ferries & the Sunshine Coast
Today, a provincial government announcement ensures that early next year living on the Sunshine Coast will more expensive for some and for most likely more inconvenient. Here is the full Times Colonist news story with the details.

Quote:B.C. announces cuts to ferry routes, no more free rides for seniors and maybe gambling
By Rob Shaw, Victoria Times Colonist November 18, 2013

The B.C. government will eliminate free ferry rides for seniors, introduce gambling on some sailings and reduce a host of minor routes as part of cutbacks announced today.

The changes will see free ferry rides for seniors eliminated, with the elderly now paying 50 per cent of regular fares on major and minor routes, said Transportation Minister Todd Stone. Previously, seniors sailed for free Monday to Thursday [**See my comment below]. The move will save $6 million a year. "All savings would be redirected to the ferry transportation fee . . . thereby reducing the pressure for fare increases beginning in 2016," said Stone.

The government is also "considering" a pilot project to introduce slot machines on sailings between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen. Gaming revenue would also be used to help reduce the pressure on fares," said Stone.

B.C. Ferries is also slashing minor coastal routes, with the Skidegate-Alliford Bay, Port Hardy-Prince Rupert, Skidegate-Prince Rupert, Texada Island-Powell River and Gabriola Island-Nanaimo Harbour routes hardest hit, with as much as 35 per cent cuts to sailings. "These are tough decisions and there will be impacts," said Stone. The Port-Hardy to mid coast to Bella Coola route will be cancelled entirely during summer months, the government said.

The changes come into effect in April 2014.

The major routes between Nanaimo, Victoria and the Lower Mainland will also be changed to save $4.9 million by 2016, the government said, though few details were released. Additional savings will also be found on major routes, particularly Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay, and Duke Point to Tsawwassen, where the government will re-evaluate how to connect mid-Vancouver Island ferries to the mainland.

The cutbacks come as part of $18.9 million in savings the government has ordered B.C. Ferries to find during the next three years. The amount was originally higher, but the Liberal government forgave an additional $7.1 million in proposed cuts shortly before the May provincial election.

The route reductions are necessary because the quasi-private ferry company – which receives more than $180 million a year in government subsidies – is facing historically low ridership and billions in debt, the government has said.

B.C. Ferries has spent the last several years being urged by government to cut internal costs as it tries to limit millions in annual losses. The ferry company posted what it called a “modest profit” of $15 million in the last fiscal year, though critics noted it was only possible because of an extra $21.5 million in government subsides, as part of an $80 million four-year bail-out package.

Service adjustments to specific coastal ferry routes

The Province has set an objective of $18.9 million in total net savings to be achieved through service reductions by 2016. The prime focus is on lower-use round trip sailings on the minor routes, and on the higher-cost northern routes, accounting for $14 million in net savings. These service adjustments will be implemented in 2014.

BC Ferries will also be implementing further changes to the major routes prior to April 2016 (Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay, Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay, Tsawwassen to Duke Point) to achieve $4.9 million in savings by 2016. Minor and northern routes will not be affected by these changes.

In addition, analysis will continue on opportunities to achieve additional savings and efficiencies, beyond the initial $4.9 million in reductions announced today, on the major routes, particularly Route 2 (Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay) and Route 30 (Duke Point to Tsawwassen). Analysis will continue of opportunities to achieve additional savings and efficiencies on Southern Gulf Island routes.

I am sure there will be reaction by Sunshine Coast regional and town leaders in the days ahead. I will post that reaction when available along with my own thoughts.
