Too good to last.....

Remember how we all celebrated back in October, when BC Ferries hacked a massive 65 cents off the cost of taking your car from Gabriola to Nanaimo and back, courtesy of the government's decision to let the corporation off paying import duty on its new ferries?

Well, let's hope you didn't let it go to your head, because from December 1 that fare goes straight back up again, because BC Ferries has decided it's time to drop the 2% fuel rebate.

It was fun while it lasted I suppose......

Hmm, wonder if they'd give us back that whopping discount if we opted for the Duke Point terminal.

I wonder?
Far more likely that they would squeeze the contracted schedule(15 trips) into the contracted hours (14 hours/day) instead of the current 18.5 hours, meaning the last departure would probably be around 8pm!
