Report had forecast possible annual fare increases above 10%.
B.C. Ferries is getting a $500-million injection from the provincial government to keep fares below inflation and help to green its fleet.
Eby said the impacts of global inflation will be taking a toll on ferry users over the next four years, citing the B.C. Ferries commissioner’s report of fare increases of 10.4% a year from 2024 to 2028. With the $500-million infusion, the government’s goal is to keep annual average fare increases below 3% a year.
