Please explain to me why the community of Texada and BC Ferries did not re-look at modifying the original pilot project that ran briefly before COVID-19 shut it down [“Triangle ferry route axed by BC Ferries,” November 25]. The financial viability of the project must have been reviewed prior to BC Ferries implementing the schedule.
The tolls could be collected exclusively online, eliminating the on board fiasco of paying and allowing BC Ferries to integrate that into its current reservation system.
The reservation fee could be adjusted at the Little River Terminal, or waived for Texada. You could get ChatGPT to program it for you if your programmers are not educated enough.
I want an explanation, other than the current rumour that Powell River opposed it. And if that explanation is true, I want to know who in Powell River opposed it and why, and how they came by the card to trump a service BC Ferries is supposed to provide to Texada Island.
This information should be public. I tried to ask at the open house on Texada and I was not given a direct answer.
See you at the [BC Ferries community drop-in] meeting on Tuesday, February 21 [4:30 to 6:30 pm at Town Centre Hotel], where I hope to receive an answer to this question.
Leslie Goresky,
Texada Island
