The Liberal's plan for dealing with BC Ferries falls far short of helping the average Islander. Tax credits require keeping receipts and claiming the credit against tax due, may travelers are low income seniors and students. The NDP claim they will reduce fares on small ferries by 15%, bring back the full discount for seniors week day travel and freeze fare on major routes. The only issue I have with this plan is why they are not reducing fares 15% across the board...after all the major routes are already heavily subsidizing the small ferries and this will increase that subsidization. 
It's time to make the ferry system an election issue or we can twiddle our thumbs for another 4 years.
