This summer, the Quadra to Cortes ferry route, Route 24, will see an additional sailing to help with traffic flow.
The new schedule hopes to “minimize possible sailing delays and provide better break coverage for our crews”, according to the BC ferries service notice posted on Wednesday, June 12, that also included the new schedule.
The new schedule adds a 7:25 departure from the Whaletown ferry terminal, offering an earlier departure from Cortes from June 20 to Sept. 2.
“The hope is that it’ll make things better for people wanting to travel, that there’s an additional sailing and that it will cut down on possible sailing waits,” said Liza Yuzda, senior communications advisor with BC Ferries.
