BC Ferries Applies for 20% Fuel SurchargeThe local daily reports BC Ferries have applied for a fuel surcharge of up to 20% to take effect by this August.
If granted this would mean the cost for car and driver between the mainland and the Island would rise to $60 during the peak season.
Of course any increase in BC Ferries fares affect anyone living on the Island, as trucking companies have to pass along their increased operating costs also. In the end, it only comes out of one pocket, and that is the final consumer.
Does anyone really understand what is fueling the ever rising cost of fuel other than pure greed?
