Fuel surcharge removed from BC Ferries 

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 May, 2024 07:09 PM
  • Fuel surcharge removed from BC Ferries 

B-C Ferries is removing a four per cent fuel surcharge from all fares, as it expects a record number of people and vehicles on board its vessels this summer.

It says the move set to take effect June 1st will increase affordability for customers. 

B-C Ferries is also adding nearly 350 additional sailings during peak season along some of the busiest routes to meet the summer rush. 

That will include third vessel serving the route between Tsawwassen and Duke Point, an additional early morning sailing between Swartz Bay and Tsawwassen and more scheduled sailings between Vancouver and the Sunshine Coast.
