VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Greyhound bus passengers who want to travel to Vancouver Island by BC Ferries now have fewer options.
That’s because of a new unloading policy implemented in the past few weeks. The buses used to board the ferry fully loaded, but now Greyhound wants to drop its passengers off at the terminal so they can board as walk-ons.
Mark Stefanson with BC Ferries says “That’s not acceptable… because all of a sudden, we have 60 people arriving with their luggage dropped off at our terminals – at both Horseshoe Bay and Departure Bay – and it’s just not working for our customers who are also coming to [the terminals] as well.”
Until an agreement is worked out, Greyhound has cut back its service from six crossings per day to two. We’re still waiting for a comment from Greyhound.
