To celebrate their 65th anniversary, BC Ferries says they’ll offer new saver fares for travel between Vancouver Island and Metro Vancouver.
June 15 will mark 65 years since BC Ferries was first established in 1960, having gone from only two ferries that year to a fleet of 37-vessels carrying over 22 million passengers and 8 million cars a year.
To celebrate this milestone, the ferry-line announced, saver fares will be priced at $65 or less for those travelling at all sailings that day on routes from Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay, Duke Point and Tsawwassen, and Departure Bay and Horseshoe Bay.
Ferry President and CEO Nicholas Jiminez says a lot has changed for them in 65 years.
“What hasn’t changed is our purpose, to connect people and communities,” said Jiminez. “This milestone is a moment to thank our staff and customers, and to recognize the work ahead.”
The ferry-line says along with this anniversary, the Queen of New Westminster turns 61 this year, highlighting how important it is to renew the fleet and infrastructure as seasonal demand rises.
They say the new fares apply for a standard under-height vehicle and driver, with a free reservation included. For adult foot and vehicle passengers, they can sail one-way for $15.
They recommend you book in advance to use these fares as they are limited.
