  • BC Ferries wants to spend millions on better infrastructure

B-C Ferries wants spend millions on a project it says will transform check-in and boarding processes for customers at its five major terminals.

An application to the British Columbia Ferries Commissioner says the proposed plan includes upgraded kiosks, fare gates and boarding pass validators for foot passengers and an express lane check-in for reserved customers.

If approved, the changes would be implemented over four years.

The changes would cover terminals at Duke Point, Tsawwassen, Horseshoe Bay, Departure Bay, and Swartz Bay.
