Just in time for the upcoming B.C. Day long weekend, BC Ferries is pleased to announce that the company is in a position to reduce the fuel surcharges by over 50 per cent on some routes due to the recent reduction in fuel prices.
Effective Friday, July 20, the fuel surcharge will drop from 5 per cent to 2 per cent on the three major routes between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland and on the minor routes.
For the Horseshoe Bay to Snug Cove route, the fuel surcharge will be $0.20 for adult passengers, 0.10 for children, $0.60 for cars and pick-up trucks and $0.30 for motorcycles.
"The recent decrease in the cost of fuel allows us to reduce the fuel surcharges, which is great news for summer travellers," said Mike Corrigan, BC Ferries' President and CEO. "Fuel was our second highest expenditure last year at $121 million so we closely monitor the cost and reduce our consumption wherever possible."
