Transportation Minister rejects call to ditch planned ferry fare increase

A week into the new sitting at the Legislature, and the NDP is going after the government on BC Ferries.

In Question Period yesterday the Opposition said the latest numbers from Ferries show rising fares are driving down ridership, and called for the Transportation Minister to stop the next increase.

Fares are due to go up again April 1st.

But Todd Stone says the government is doing everything it can to hold the line, and he accuses the NDP of trying to block initiatives that will help.


The NDP says we’re caught in a cycle of fare increases that drive down ridership, and lead to more increases to make up for lost revenue.
