The Departure Bay (near downtown Nanaimo) BC Ferry takes 95minutes of sailing to reach Horseshoe Bay on the west tip of West Vancouver. Then if you're a foot passenger it takes another 41minutes to get to Granville & Georgia via the 257 Express Bus. Total 156minute (2hr & 36min) travel time (excluding any waiting to embark, disembark, catch the bus, etc...).
Foot passenger fees for each leg are $19.45 and $3.15, for a $22.60 total.
So an hour and 20 minutes saved each way for about twice the price. I could see it being valuable for many people
Absolutely. It's a MASSIVE win. Especially with the farce that BC Ferries has become.
