Prices going up as BC Ferries removes fuel rebates
NANAIMO — Perhaps the last thing any Islander wants to hear: the price to ride the ferry is going up.
BC Ferries announced they are removing fuel rebates starting on June 27 due to the increasing cost of fuel on global markets.
A statement from the company said the impact will mean roughly $2.70 more for a vehicle with two adults on the major routes. On the minor routes, fares will increase about $1.30 for a vehicle with two adults.
The statement said the current rebates were in place since spring 2016.
