Ferries good for a laugh

Re: “BC Ferries predicts waits will end in 2030,” Oct. 5.

Oh yes, the folks at BC Ferries in Victoria are an amusing bunch. I’m still trying to determine whether this announcement is a six-months-late or a six-months-early April Fool’s spoof. I will give them credit for a modest improvement in on-time performance in the last year. That, however, came only after a decade of lobbying that they adjust the schedule to make it possible.

The residents of the Sunshine Coast and visitors to the Sunshine Coast have been waiting for reliable, on-time, hourly sailings between Langdale and Horseshoe Bay for 25-plus years. Hey, what’s another 12 years?
