B.C. Ferries: Easter Breakdowns Cause Chaos

Three B.C. Ferries ships break down during Easter weekend, causing travel chaos and frustration.

Ferries responded with temporary solutions, including a water taxi and schedule adjustments. The aging fleets woes are attributed to years of neglect, but eight new vessels are on order, with four smaller Island class ships arriving this year and next, and four larger ones from China starting in 2029.
