BC Ferries to Rail.
“Is it a more efficient use of taxpayer money for Government to connect and augment public transit with rail stops at all major terminals on the Island and Lower Mainland?

BC Ferries started as CP Rail, maybe a return to those roots is smarter than saddling BC Ferries with boat loads of debt.”

The entire Pacific Northwest region of the US essentially has no train service indefinitely.

"Amtrak determined its fleet of Horizon trainsets had to be parked immediately due to concerns about corrosion in the aging equipment.

The decision left only one trainset in service on the route that serves 18 stations between Eugene, Oregon and Vancouver, British Columbia."

@IndivisibleSF I would like to boost this, but without alt text it is not accessible to those using screenreading software.

You can change that by transcribing the text you're giving sighted people, plus adding a description of what the graphic is showing. edtechfactotum.com/adding-alt- #Accessibility #Ableism #Transportation

Hey! Interesting new #BCFerries announcement with a #PortAlberni connection!

This summer the oldest ship in the fleet, Queen of Alberni, which currently serves the Tsawwassen - Duke Point route, will be shifted to a special, one way, once a day 4:30PM Tsawwassen to Departure Bay sailing!

This could be a very interesting experiment!

I wonder when the last time was that the Queen of Alberni did a trip to Dep Bay (outside Pandemic times).
