Letter: A late ferry meant missing the last bus and walking home in the rain

'The ferry I took home from the city was 35 minutes late, so the only busses leaving from the ferry had already departed by the time we arrived in Langdale. This left me with only one option; walking for over an hour on a dark, rainy evening to get home. '

BC Ferries needs to address its routine delays. The ferry I took home from the city was 35 minutes late, so the only busses leaving from the ferry had already departed by the time we arrived in Langdale. This left me with only one option; walking for over an hour on a dark, rainy evening to get home.  

I would be more understanding if there weren’t delays every other sailing.  

It should be BC Ferries’ responsibility to provide a shuttle when delays obstruct access to transit.
